San Francisco in the Nineties: The Beat Generation and the Aquarian Dream have been sold out to the New Economy.
Enter Tommy Delacroix, a one-time alternative journalist who has traded in the Good Fight for the Good Life of the dot-com boom: a German sedan, stock options, and an ambitious fiancée. But then Blind Johnny Ray stumbles back into his life, raving about a glowing messiah who heals the homeless in the park. Crazy? Yes, except that Johnny is no longer blind.
Over the next four days, Tommy will stake out a singing messiah, bribe a nurse to hack into medical records, and come face to face with a sleepwalking power broker who holds the keys to Paradise.
