Four friends in South Jersey work dead-end jobs but find community and purpose in their creativity and involvement in the South Jersey/Philadelphia music scene. Following a couple of unexpected deaths, a chance encounter with a mysterious record label exec throws the lives of everyone involved into hallucinatory disarray. Strange events ensue: poltergeist activity, savage claw marks on the top of a car, and unexplained bloody wounds. Some of the friends are thrown into moral dilemmas, making choices that might not be entirely their own.
Set in the late 1980s and told in the first person by the four main characters, the novel straddles the intersection of horror, humor, and surrealism. It ultimately stands as a treatise on the ferocity and urgency of creativity as well as the predatory aspects of the music industry.
