“You can’t go home again.” Heard that one before?

Eastlake is a typical small town like so many others with its share of quirky citizens and humorous happenings. Think Mayberry, only in Texas. There is a charming little drive-in, a few local churches, and of course, the high school where everyone heads out to enjoy the Friday night lights and support the boys and girls who reside there.

Lincoln Jefferson Reddy left his hometown of Eastlake years ago destined for stardom. A local gridiron legend, he fully expected to parlay his collegiate career into NFL glory, but his life hasn’t worked out quite the way he planned. After nearly a decade of drifting around, broken, feeling like a failure, and ashamed to go back, he’s finally come home, but the homecoming may not be a welcome one.

His only remaining family is his father, and the two are barely on speaking terms. His one true love Bobbi Sue is engaged to someone else, and his eleven-year-old daughter is a stranger to him. When the opportunity to start his own business falls in his lap, Link takes a chance, and soon finds himself running a local cab company.

Battling old demons, including alcohol and depression, Link struggles to find his place in the world. Could Eastlake be the home he’s seeking?
