What do you do when your safe and successful life suddenly seems meaningless and dismal? Well, don't do what Bill does. Fed up with the perfect career, the perfect girlfriend, the perfect apartment, the perfect therapist, he wanders into the streets of New York City one rainy night, only to find himself swept up in a crazy world he never knew existed, full of artsy perverts, casual crime, psychics, street performers, UFO hippie cults, industrial espionage, and gleeful gender benders, where nothing is what it seems and staying sane isn't anywhere near as important as staying alive until dawn....
