Eddie Funston, after 41 years with a murderous Federal agency,
learns that retired agents die fast. He exchanges identity with
Victor Otis, an ancient hippie with a smelly dog in a small
California town, and crosses paths with Judith, whose multiple
identities are the result of alien abduction. With her gritty
humor, her teenage son Josh, and her lover Moshe, she's
managed a life. But Moshe himself is an alien, and the Feds target
her as an enemy sympathizer.
The aliens are actually very nice folks, sending emissaries to heal
the traumas they've caused. But seeing our rape of Planet Earth,
they are simultaneously planning to kill us as the cancer we are.
It's black, funny, and vaguely hopeful.
