Low-life drug-dealer Dewey Booth has $200,000 that even-lower-lifes want. Wes is a rock and roll loser who only wants to buy a club where nobody can tell he can't sing or perform. He's known Dewey for years, but that isn't enough to get his dough.

Wes needs help. Nala is a bombshell whose pleasure in life is to seduce and then humiliate men dumb enough to fall for her. For half the dough, she agrees to help Wes get Dewey's ill-gotten goods.

Vincenze is another troublemaker who enjoys wrecking people's plans and wants the Dewey dough, too...

Industry Reviews

[I]n these pages lies a challenging, meticulously crafted story of grifters in the middle of a con. Not surprisingly, [Gilbert] Hernandez populates his story with some thoroughly grounded and intriguing figures, but what s fascinating about the plot is how it criss-crossed over on itself so that not only do the characters remain unaware of who s conning who but so does the reader. The plot is an intricately woven web of lies and truths, and it s peppered, of course, with Hernandez s trademark touch of raw sexuality. Fans of such crime comics as Criminal and 100 Bullets would be well advised to give this graphic novel a chance; they won t be disappointed. ... [Rating] 9/10. --Don MacPherson
