Dex Foster has a pregnant girlfriend, a radio show facing cancellation, and a heart full of Gen-X cynicism. Now he's trying to reboot his broadcast career with a podcast featuring, for its debut episode, an interview with Logan Hazelette, Dex's former bandmate and current rock demigod, lately absent from public life. But for Logan, on the run from life in L.A., this trip back home is a chance to do more than reconnect with old friends. And for Dex, still jealous of Logan's success and now facing imminent parenthood, these few days will mean a confrontation between the past he's still clinging to and the future he's being rocketed towards.
WE WILL RID THE WORLD OF YOU is a startling and staggering odyssey through our celebrity-obsessed and terror-threatened present, through commercially-re-appropriated punk rock and the rural heroin epidemic, through one man's struggle to choose love over fear.
