The book is non-linear, composed of 24 story / chapters divided into four geographical sections that piece together to form a mosaic whole. The stories range in length from 1300 words to 8000 words. The reader can potentially choose to begin with any story, in any section: Coast-to-Coast and Canada, Jamaica, Florida, and Boulder. Or they can simply read in a linear fashion.
This is a non-violent book with graphic, mostly psychedelic drug-use and sexual content.
There is one death in the entire book.
The gritty tales told do not shy away from any content.
