M.A.R.S. is a story about a young man who was born in the late seventies, and grew up in the eighties, and the nineties. He came from a broken home; however, he had parents who both over-achieved in their respective careers. One was an educator, while the other was a drug kingpin. Michael Jr. or Mikey as he is affectionately called by his family and close friends, is the embodiment of both paths. He also is in my humble opinion a perfect example of the duality that dwells in us all. Join Mikey as he shares his life story with us that just so happens to be filled with love, ambition, and losses. Although this is a fictional story, I hope that you will be able to connect, show empathy, and gain a level of understanding that helps to open your mind and your heart.
