While working through his twelve-step program, eighteen-year-old Jex gets a new job and his first apartment. But staying clean and out of trouble never did come naturally. And this time trouble finds him. What starts as a season of promiscuity, ends in morbid fashion. Now it’s up to Jex to uncover who wants him dead. Slice-of-life, coming-of-age with the bruised face of Dazed and Confused and the dark heart of River's Edge.
