Beautiful and charismatic, nineteen-year-old Checker Secretti
is the most gifted and original drummer that the club-goers of
Astoria, Queens, have ever heard. When he plays, conundrums seem to
solve themselves, brilliant thoughts spring to mind, and couples
fall in love. The members of his band, The Derailleurs, are
passionately devoted to their guiding spirit, as are all who fall
under Checker's spell. But when another drummer, Eaton Striker,
hears the prodigy play, he is pulled inexorably into Checker's
orbit by a powerful combination of envy and admiration. Soon The
Derailleurs, too, are torn apart by latent jealousies that Eaton
does his utmost to bring alive.
