Everything Must Go

On the day he’s fired from his job in Phoenix – for falling off the wagon and waking up in the hotel room of an associate who files a suit for harassment – Nicholas Halsey comes home to find his stuff on the front lawn, the locks changed, and a farewell note from his wife. With his bank account frozen, his credit cards and phone cancelled, and his company car gone, he takes up residence on the lawn. A cop who’s his AA sponsor tells him he can sit there for five days as if it’s a garage sale, then he’ll face arrest. With help from a chubby kid on a bicycle, a pregnant neighbor, and an old high school acquaintance, Nick goes on a beer-soaked odyssey, from his front-yard easy chair.
