When three sleazy gangsters storm into an apartment in search of a stolen urn, they set off a series of unfortunate events. As blood begins to pool, it becomes clear that this story is about more than senseless violence. What is good and what is evil? Who decides who should die? And does anyone really know their neighbors? Theft and poison and so much shooting; and yet, on muted and somber pages, heartless villains become vulnerable heroes--before resorting to cruelty once again. A classic gangster comedy of errors grows into a meditation on loneliness, morality, and even love.
