Adventures of an American Train Wreck

No one knows how Alex Loveless is still alive.
He looks like a corpse. Rumors swirl around about overdoses, extended psychiatric treatments, and of course his murky association with the infamous drug lord Dean Haddler. He may just be a degenerate rock star on his last leg, but everyone around him knows something else is afoot. Although many theorize about his upbringing and the events that have led to his downfall, only his dear friend and the band's guitarist Carrie Andrews knows his story.
Follow unassuming yet highly capable child Joseph Clark along a winding road of death, brushes with the law, and other unfortunate events to adulthood and his famous alias of Alex Loveless.
