Humor
Manhattan’s East Village, 1993. Dive bars, DIY
music venues, shady weirdos, and hard drugs are plentiful.
Crime is high but rent is low, luring hopeful, creative kids
from sleepy suburbs around the country.
One of
these is Jack S., a young New Jersey rock musician. Just a
few days before his band’s biggest gig, their lead
singer goes missing with Jack’s prized bass,
presumably to hock it to feed his junk habit. Jack’s
search for his buddy uncovers a sinister entanglement of
crimes tied to local real estate barons looking to remake
New York City—and who might also be connected to the
recent death of Jack’s punk rock mentor. Along the
way, Jack encounters a cast of colorful characters,
including a bewitching, quick-witted scenester who favors
dressing in a nurse’s outfit, a monstrous hired killer
with a devotion to both figure skating and edged weapons, a
deranged if prophetic postwar novelist, and a tough-talking
cop who fancies himself a retro-cool icon of the homicide
squad but is harboring a surprising secret.
