A laugh-out-loud funny, unique, character-driven story.
Trouble always seems to find Joe. All right, sometimes he’s sort of looking for it. Joe lives with his girlfriend Eva, a twenty-something couple, one of whom is trying to get pregnant. Eva works for a local Rhode Island modern artist named Madeline. Madeline is very wealthy -and very wacky. Eva works at Madeline’s home-cum-studio, a 100+ room estate called Rockhurst Manor built by her great-great grandfather. Joe is an aspiring author who is working on a book called: Worldwide Electron Band, or W.E.B., about a fictional ‘Big Brother’ system the government is creating. Madeline reads the manuscript and decides she wants to build a system herself, as: “the greatest piece of modern art ever created.”
On the other side of the Manor, and unbeknownst to Eva, lives Madeline’s Uncle Bertrom. Bertrom becomes suspicious of the goings on and hires a private security firm to spy on Madeline. This creates an electronic glitch in Madeline’s 'art piece' and possibly a new form of Artificial Intelligence which draws the interest of several possibly nefarious individuals and the government.
Meanwhile, Joe figures out how to climb inside the walls of the two-hundred year old estate to fool around, and finds Al Capone’s brain in a jar in the process.
And, in an unrelated incident Eva finally gets pregnant.
