As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block allroutes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, thegulag of the public schools, a competitive Type-A father, murderous canines (intriplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response--allwhile vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders,teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad.
