Its a tale set in Manhattan, in the bars and restaurants and private clubsas well as in the offices and cubicles and conference rooms of major national magazines. Its a story of backstabbing and betrayal, of revenge and retribution, of dysfunctional bosses and disillusioned workers, of mind-numbing bureaucracy and the quiet savagery of the workplaceall of it fueled by drugs and alcohol and random sexual encounters. In the end, its a story of how one man is consumed by fate and his own weakness--and how he then finds a strange brand of redemption.
