A Boy From Cape Cod

The Epic True Life Story of Tim Burns


"A story that must be told" quote from Jesse Romero

My parents thought that by moving the family to Cape Cod as a child, it would be a better place to grow up than the mean streets of Boston. 

They were wrong.

After a horrendous upbringing, I would go on to survive multiple drug overdoses, dozens of arrests, many dead friends, and over twenty-five years of criminal charges, drug abuse, and mayhem. From turning twenty-one in prison to partying like a rock star five years later, to creating my own potential multi-million dollar business, to plunging into LA’s nefarious underworld of criminals and gang life, my life story is unmatched in any contemporary American literature. It all ended with a contract on my life from gangsters and being stalked by Satanists in Hollywood.

I chased a dream for most of my life, my version of the American Dream. When I found it, it turned out to be a nightmare that almost killed me. My story is a fantastic story, but a true story, documented and attested to. It is a story that I hope will change peoples lives.
