Idle Hands - Paperback

by Michael a. Occhionero (Author)

Marcus lives his life as if no future existed. Drugs and casual sex take up a lot of his time, until they lead the twenty three year old to nights spent on unfamiliar couches, and eventually to an improbable encounter with Franz, a fifty-something ex-boxer now living on welfare. The two become friends, and Franz's tales of past triumphs lure Marcus into a whole new high-stakes world. Compelled by the promise of effortless pleasure, Marcus doesn't see that Franz's desolate existence could become his own. Set in the vibrant metropolis of Montr al, Idle Hands is a gripping tale of youthful nihilism made for the 21st century.
