MARK EDWARDS HAS 8 HOURS TO LOSE HIS VIRGINITY…OR DIE.
At 4:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve, thirty-eight-yearold Mark Edwards is wearing a cheap wig, sweating profusely, and decomposing while sharing a candlelit dinner with his gluttonous, self-absorbed, and kind-hearted date, Alice Jones.

Set in a four-story walk-up apartment complex of studios in Manhattan, Mark is the glue bonding five multi-generational, lonely, jealous, and eccentric tenants. Struggle, conflict, and reconciliation arise from their bruised optimism following: a failed marriage, the death of a spouse, a painful betrayal, and plain bad luck.

Haunted by the reappearance of Mary Henson, Mark's teenage girlfriend who died in his arms twenty-four years earlier, he discovers the love he's spent a lifetime seeking, survives in a powerful secret revealed to him from the afterlife.
