Poppa Neutrino, the family patriarch, believes that 'rent is the thing
that beats us.' His quest was about pure freedom for himself, wife Betsy,
and the five children they raised on the road. His
philosophy is based on the notion of nurturing a triad of heart's desires;
if you dream them, you can have them. The family taught themselves how
to play Dixieland jazz, and managed to eke out a living playing on the
streets as they roamed the world from Mexico to Moscow. They slept in
cars, old trucks, on empty beaches. Adventures included a stint with
a
Mexican circus, and with an ingenuity bordering on genius, building
rafts from scraps of junk that they then would live aboard. For twenty
years, the family
documented itself with an old HI-8 camera, capturing an astonishingly
intimate portrait of survival outside
of conventional society, in a self-created alternate universe with a
value system all its own.

Clive, Eddie, Sammy, Tracey, Gomer and Adrian , a close-knit
group of “headbanging” friends all have an equal passion
for Heavy Metal music, partying and
experimenting with the occult and supernatural. When the mutilated body
of murdered 12 year-old Mikey Gay (brother of the Hellrats’ feared,
trouble-making gang-leader Vinny) surfaces in Sammy’s “Satanic
Enshrined” bedroom, all six become prime suspects in
the murder. Did one of the six teenagers take their interests in
Black Magic a little too far? Or was Mikey murdered at the hands of
someone else? This coming of age tale represents a different side of
the 80’s that has never been chronicled until now...

Based on his true story,
Sam served on a Mission in the Philippines and returned early to the
U.S. in 2004, with uncited
diseases. The doctors unaware couldn't detect anything in the blood
work and calling Sam a faker claimed the problem was all in his head.

to find the answers to why his life was falling apart, and to find out
the truth about whether the one woman he loved really loved him. A heart
warming film by first time Director Samuel Adams, about his spiritual
journey to find meaning in his life, during a time of great tribulation.
