At age 15, Alfred Jones was rescued from the streets of New York by aspiring author/stripper Arthur Kirkland. Since then, Alfred has managed to find a place among Arthur's misfit friends. But Alfred's new life, as well as the lives of his friends, is turned on its head when Alfred's brother finds him after 13 years of separation. Fruk, Gerita, and others.

Everyone with a significant other has a story about how they met. Unfortunately for Arthur, his story involves the time he got so smashed that he ended up in an entirely different country...and no one is ever going to let him forget it. Particularly not his significant other.
