Evel America takes the reader on an exploration into the mind of the story's protagonist, Bobby America. A name and persona he has invented for himself, he recreates a life through his two passions; American dare devil Evel Knievel and 70's American TV shows. 

Dissatisfied with his own life, he lives through his American alter ego  based on the TV shows he watched as a kid and invents a whole family; wife, children and job, whilst the real America visits him in the shape of Charles Manson, Dr. Martin Luther King, a death row inmate, a civil rights activist, General Custer, the Boston marathon bomber and an ISIS hostage. All this, without ever leaving his room... 

His reality is through the celebrities and the TV shows that beam back at him, but who is the real person and what is he hiding?
