Description
My Friend Gus is the tale of an unlikely friendship between two people who need it more than they know. Pete McCarthy is a recent college graduate who should be ready to take on the world as he prepares for his new job as an analyst at a bank. He is a smart and determined young professional. What people don’t know is that he feels depressed and alone. Because he hides this from his family and friends, his behavior and attitude are misunderstood. He’s just looking for some hope in a dim world.
Gus Sanford is a longtime widower and a retired stuntman, best known for his work in 1970s action movies. However, now he lives a very simple life on Long Island in the same town as Pete. His small, walk-up apartment is across the street from his favorite restaurant, Antonio’s, where he often goes to drink at the bar. Now in his 80s, he struggles with loneliness and poor health.
Gus and Pete strike up an unexpected friendship that nobody else understands or really accepts. The two men provide the companionship they need at this point in their lives, but don’t realize how much they count on each other until life tests them both.
