In a ghostly 1999, abnormal heat dries the earth while dust storms lash the planet. In this apocalyptic panorama, the beautiful Nicola Six seeks her killer in a local pub. She decides that Keith, a petty swindler, will be the one to kill her. However, the crime scene cannot be constituted with only two vertices, and Nicola will attract a third, Guy, an innocent aristocrat fascinated by the underworld. The three will slide into a grotesque minuet, in a dance of courtship and deceptions that mask a sordid background of perversion and violence. The narrator, Samson Young, a mortally ill young American writer, will tell everything.
