A blackout brought on by a Mad Dog binge that ended with a
self-inflicted steak knife wound bought Bruno Dante another stint
in the nuthouse, no different from all the rest. Now it's done, and
his wife, Agnes--taking time off from her personal-trainer
lover--has come to pick Bruno up and to deliver a message from the
West Coast: his screenwriter father is in the hospital in a coma
and is not expected to live. So Bruno heads back to Los Angeles for
a fraught family reunion, where the tension and stress force him to
dull the pain the only way he knows how--with alcohol. And when he
wakes up naked in a stolen car with an underage hooker whose pimp
has stolen his wallet, Bruno realizes the trip has just begun.
