Twelve year old outcast Caleb Watson is not like the other children struggling through the sheltered world of private school in Washington‚ D.C. Not only has he skipped a year in school‚ making him smaller than the rest of the boys‚ but his Southern accent and effeminate characteristics set him apart even further. He just doesn't belong.
On a field-trip to the art museum he discovers the art of Andy Warhol‚ another outcast who becomes his hero--his icon. In the art and philosophy of Pop‚ Caleb finds sanctuary from his own life: beauty in the things that don't fit. He begins to transform himself and the friends he meets along the way into his own little version of Warhol's factory. Coming of age by emulating his idol. Making his world into living Pop Art through the exploration of aesthetics and decadence.
Along with his new friends‚ adolescent misfits all searching for their places in the world‚ he finds his identity through art‚ nightlife and the glitter and glam that could only be The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not the normal depiction of the polished life of D.C. and its prep schools‚ POP SALVATION is the story of finding yourself by becoming the art you adore.
