The Dogs...Barking

A child lost in the grisly haze of psychological assaults wends his way through the '50s in a sleepy Texas town on the Mexican border. As he grows into a young man, he must battle with the demons his upbringing has instilled in him.

First, he is plunged into the wild-eyed, rebellious temptations of university life in the '60s. Then the lure of fame draws him, moth to flame, to the raw power of New York City. There, he doggedly pursues an acting career he hopes will quiet the fiends that torment him.

To his astonishment, he finally finds solace only in the home he had abandoned and the lonely howl of the dogs that so long ago serenaded him to sleep.
