Haight

A young man’s search for his biological parents uncovers the heartrending story of Aaron Thomas and Jing Po, two star-crossed lovers.  As John Clark’s quest unfolds, we are thrust into the world of the early 1970s in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Set amidst the scenic San Francisco landmarks, the story is filled with the color and brilliance of Chinatown, the outrageous lifestyle of the Haight-Ashbury residents, Vietnam protests, and a robust dose of rock and roll.  John discovers the tragic story of his parents, but it is not what he expected.
