Synopsis

When Jack left New York he knew his life was going to change. He never imagined that he would end up stranded in Vegas with only a few dollars to his name. Unable to keep a job, he prostitutes himself, and develops a cocaine addiction which he struggles to support. But when a recently widowed woman comes into his life, he believes he's found his way out. That is, until another girl comes along.

A social commentary on the value of drugs, money and love in today's society, the reader is escorted through a world of prostitution and ambivalent sexuality, cocaine addiction and alcoholism.

. . . The words echo in my ear as I make my way back to my room. Sweat is beading on my forehead. I tell myself it's from the sun but I can feel my heart beating its way out of my chest and I know that it's not. I'm nervous. Maybe a little scared. I know I'm in trouble. My pace quickens as I get near the door and I fumble with the lock. The door shuts and for a moment I feel safe again. The vial Pat gave me is still in my hands and I run my thumb up and down the length of the smooth glass surface and somehow this comforts me. Joan Jett is on the radio and I take a seat by the nightstand, open the vial and tap some powder out. There's a little voice in my head telling me to stop and for a moment I listen . . .
