Set in New York's late-night bars and back rooms, Balls is a darkly comic portrait of ambition, desire, and masculine fragility. Henry Schiller is thirty, a drifting songwriter and lounge pianist, in love with a woman younger, sharper, and more talented than he is--one already looking past him toward other men and a bigger future. When Henry is diagnosed with testicular cancer, his romantic anxieties collide with a far more existential reckoning, forcing him to confront the limits of love, art, and his own vanishing sense of control.
