Bennie Salazar, an aging former punk rocker and record executive, and Sasha, the passionate, troubled young woman he employs confront their pasts in this powerful story about how rebellion ages, influence corrupts, habits turn to addictions, lifelong friendships fluctuate and turn, and how art and music have the power to redeem. As their lives progress, their paths intersect with a host of other people with their own secret lives over the course of fifty years in settings as various as the San Francisco 1970s music scene, the demimonde of Naples, New York at points from the pre-internet 90s to a postwar future and a catastrophic safari in the heart of Africa.
