The fictional black and white facade of Paul Murphy & Aaron EckleburgÕs childhood is rapidly vanishing before their eyes, as they recount a day in the life struggle with depression and loss of innocence. Throughout the dayÕs events, Paul & Aaron come to realize an essential tenet of a good lifeÑfriendship. The two sixteen-year-olds amalgamate the wisdom ingrained in their Judeo-Christian upbringing with the treasures of knowledge found in both ancient and modern literature, along with the cathartic solace provided by contemporary music, to navigate the challenges of teenage life. ItÕs a search for personal connection and guidance in an ever-growing impersonal society.
