When a tanker trunk with 'Ladies Inc.' emblazoned on the side crashes in a quiet area in New York, an area it doesn't have authorization to be in, it liberally spills its contents all over the road and into the surrounding atmosphere. One life-altering evening turns this family's, along with most of New York's, perceptions on the nuclear family and male/female relationships upside down. Unfortunately, their son Andy is caught in the middle of his parent's childish banter and family chaos. Thus it comes as no surprise that Tom continually spends late evenings in bars and cheats on his wife. Tom Braun and his wife Susan aren't exactly a picturesque couple. In this modern tale of the ages-old battle of the sexes carried to the extreme, Jack Ketchum again provides readers with an excursion into horror as relentless as a John Woo film.
