Out of work and reeling from the fallout of a busted marriage, Johnny Doyle spends most of his days drinking at the Delirium Lounge. Then one day he hears a troubling story about his ex-wife and makes an impulsive decision to check up on her, never suspecting that he will soon find himself caught up in a cyclone of lies, murder, and betrayal. As usual, Johnny turns to the bottle for solace, but this time he spirals out of control as he struggles to survive and cope in a world in which there is no one he can trust and nothing is as it seems.
