Star to Deckhand has Rick working and living in California. Starring in a new movie has its challenges, whilst going on holiday is a world of its own.
As Rick gains skills in his new role as an actor he finds that he can sing, to a point. A dark and dangerous side of the family comes forth when Soviet Agents kidnap his sister. The move into Jackson House has its surprises. While the family flies to England for their holiday, Rick works his way there as a deckhand on a freighter. Cuba, Argentina, Africa, and England each have their own adventures for our maturing young man. This tongue in cheek saga is all true, give or take a lie or two.
