THE GRACELESS AGE is a story of family dysfunction, of a literary giant and of fundamentalist religion, of violent abuse and addiction and of what humanity must endure to survive in a brutal world. This is the story of American singer songwriter John Murry who was on the cusp of greatness after the release of his highly acclaimed album, Graceless Age (2013), when his world fell apart. Creatively exhausted and struggling with addiction he washed up on the shores of Ireland a broken man. Now, he retraces his steps back to Mississippi into the dark heart of American life and face his demons -- a neglected childhood, traumatic assault and resulting years of opioid addiction.
