Mick, Rusty, Dan­ny, and Jack were musi­cal­ly gift­ed in their youth but didn’t have a ​‘hook’ to take their band to the next lev­el. Time march­es on in indi­vid­ual direc­tions — mar­riage, Viet­nam, divorce, PTSD, drugs, and alco­hol. In their gold­en years, Mick’s ​“ill-begot­ten [bleep]” drops him into a retire­ment home, and the rev­el­ry, music, romance, and hilar­i­ty begin — with laugh­ter and tears for all.

Full Cir­cle is a laugh-out-loud, ​“Bor­sht Belt humor” jour­ney through the ups and downs of the lives of four sep­tu­a­ge­nar­i­an musi­cians, while cut­ting a gut-wrench­ing depth and eye-open­ing look into PTSD, holo­caust and WWII hero­ism, and our ignored or for­got­ten aging cit­i­zens resid­ing in nurs­ing homes. Mick’s inge­nu­ity (engi­neer­ing a notable hook) and nos­tal­gia for his band reunites the four aging friends as they bright­en the depres­sive shad­ow loom­ing over the nurs­ing home while reveal­ing how every life has a sto­ry and some­thing to teach us if we pay atten­tion. The sto­ry ends with a tru­ly delight­ful acknowl­edge­ment of who the char­ac­ters in the sto­ry are based upon in real life.
