A luta de Lilli Black contra as lembranças dolorosas e os segredos que cercam seu pai (que está à beira da morte) colide com a complicada e obsessiva vida de Morrison Wiley nas ruas de New York.
''I'm totally optimistic. Totally pessimistic. I love myself. I can't stand myself. I'm intelligent. I'm so dumb it scares me. I'm strong. I'm weakling. I'm so bored I'm depressed. I'm so depressed I'm bored. I'm filled with potencial and I have hostile frustation. My own fluctuations embarrass me. But whatever I am I was borned to two sixteen-year-old degenerates and I'm totally flawed. This are my conflits. This is my window. This is my head.''
