Fatherload

He spent years of his life chasing cheap thrills across the globe. Now, David is sober, stuck, and staring down his greatest challenge. A baby. And it's his.

Hilarious, moving, and brutally honest, Fatherload is a look at modern fatherhood – from a man hoping his baby will inherit more than his mistakes.
