THe True Tales of
Bad Benny Taggart

We meet Benny Taggart when his anger erupts as a student in a middle school, just outside of Buffalo, New York. His explosive reactions to bullying and brutality propel him through this portal of a failing juvenile "justice" system. Here Benny perfects his "bad" persona. Masking insecurities which are only compounded by a devastating tragedy. Thrust toward adulthood with a few missing pieces, we follow "Bad" Benny on an odyssey to find a father he never met, following clues he may have imagined, all of which point toward Miami. Benny Taggart becomes Huck Finn and Holden Caufield seen through Alice's looking glass.

Faced with larger-than-life danger and confronted by mysterious folk he never could have imagined, Benny wrestles his way toward whatever adulthood may bring. Filled with a cast of unique American characters, The True Tales of Bad Benny Taggart is a fast-paced journey from betrayal through violence and danger...
