What happens when small-time reporter Matthew Prior quits
his job to gamble everything on a quixotic notion: a Web
site devoted to financial journalism in the form of blank
verse? Before long, he wakes up to find himself jobless,
hobbled with debt, spying on his wife's online flirtation,
and six days away from losing his home. . . . Until, one
night on a desperate two a.m. run to 7-Eleven, he falls in
with some local stoners, and they end up hatching the
biggest—and most misbegotten—plan yet.
