Travel back in time as a 26-year-old carpenter attempts to reduce his personal harm by taking a self-imposed sabbatical away from all of his addictive substances, influencers, and environments. For three months, starting on Christmas Day in 1978, Theo, and his Great Dane named Misty, hunkered down to attempt a drug free winter.
