Mickey is a struggling artist. He paints and draws in his free time, all while taking care of his drunken mother and three year old sister. Very often his own dreams and needs are put in the shadows as his mother nearly forces him to be the man of the house. Mickey is quiet around town, and works at a bar serving drinks every night. During the day, he's taking care of his sister while his mother is out tending to her own sexual needs. Mickey truly is the equivalent of a teddy bear once you break through his tattooed, muscled, tall and hard shell.
