Berkeley is the story of eighteen year old Ben Sweet, who comes to UC Berkeley in 1968 to study accounting and avoid the draft. There begins an odyssey through sex, drugs, rock and roll, and political activism which turns his conservative middleclass world upside down, and plants him firmly on a path of exploration and self-discovery, far from the life of his father, Sy.
