Oedipus Rex meets The Manchurian Candidate. Amateur philosopher Jackson Conger wants two things - someone to love and a child to raise. His heart cracks when he finds in a coil of kelp on the beach a blue baby jacked full of formaldehyde. Jackson and Eddie, a teen he's counseling, bond over their love of dumb jokes. Hilarious one minute, insanely violent the next, Eddie confides he doesn't think he has a soul. Jackson's girlfriend Jeannie runs away. His best friend Monk disappears. When Jackson acts on the assumption something sinister connects them all, he vibrates a web, which threatens him and everyone he loves. Each strand of the riddle leads back to Jocelyn, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. The sea is sick. A dead zone suffocates their fishing village. As a 100-year storm rages, can Jackson stop Jocelyn and the power she wields before she wraps him into a knot? Wittgenstein said, from jokes one could create an entire philosophy. Everyone in The Hookers Ball seems to be the butt of a cosmic joke.
