At twenty-four, soon after his father's death, Sevigne Torrins went down from the Soo to the city to make it - to make himself a writer, swagger, shine and recite on the ivory stages, find love; all the old dreams. Part poet, part pugilist, Sevigne soon finds himself penning advertising jingles and hundred-word CD-ROM plot summaries of classic novels instead of writing his own. Attracted and repelled by the bright lights of literary fame and the vicissitudes of love, Sevigne discovers that his classic writerly dream has a different and darker reality than he had foreseen.
