Set in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley District, as well as infesting throughout the entire City, Desi Marquiso-the protagonist and essentially the ardent spokesperson for the ideology of art for the sake of art-struggles between college, work, and his failed relationship with his true love, Elena Marie. Desi takes the reader through a fierce twenty-four hours filled with interminable spells of poetic creation and provocatively intoxicating mistakes-the same mistakes willing college students generally make today. His love for poetry eventually pulls him through his poor judgements and leads him back to the Faith on which he was raised.
