Neal is a brilliant engineer with two women in his life. His down-to-earth, foreign-born, flesh-and-blood wife. And the obedient sentient AI that dwells in his computer and runs his life.
On the eve of a ferocious storm, Neal heads home to break some bad news to the family—only to discover that he’s got to wait in line.
Mother Nature and Lady Luck have bigger, nastier, more brutish plans in store for them all.
Like Cheever gone from bad to worse, crime writer D’Agnese gives us a trippy fantasy that dwells in the realm of suburban surreal.
