Set in 1950s California, this novel tells the story of Jack, a naive man unable to distinguish reality from fantasy. After fighting in World War II, Jack dedicates himself to collecting conspiracy theories and extravagant ideas. His brother-in-law, Charley, considers him a 'shitty artist' because he doesn't adapt to real life. His sister Fay rescues him from the chaos and takes him in at her luxurious ranch outside of San Francisco. There, Jack will find himself caught in a whirlwind of suburban anguish from which it will be difficult for him to escape.
