Then it does.He struggles with the conflict between his career aspirations and the obstacles of politics and events he cannot control. His career becomes a roller coaster ride of idyllic highs and devastating lows. He suffers a final betrayal after one of his greatest successes. Then he reinvents himself. But will he be vindicated and savor lasting happiness? Adman Cowboy begins in the 1970s shortly after when the story line in the television series Mad Men ended.
