Summary:

This is the story of Doug, who as we meet him drifts in and out of reality and a hallucinatory fever dream that recalls the cleanly delineated world of Hergé combined with the horrific visions of William Burroughs and David Lynch. As the story opens he is recovering from a devastating trauma and trying to piece together how it happened. It is also the story of Doug's memory of his infatuation with Sarah, a brilliant but troubled art student who seems to be in mortal fear of something--or someone--lurking just around the corner. Or worse, literally downstairs and ringing the buzzer. Ultimately, Doug has to decide whether he is going to own up to his mistakes and confront his past, or choose to live it again, and again, and again.
