Summary

Logan Sanders’ life has gone according to plan. Working his way through college and grad school, he now has his dream job teaching where he’d attended as a child. But the reality of teaching in NYC’s Lower East Side is spawning a cynicism in him that threatens his resolve.

It doesn't help when his perpetually optimistic kid brother, Patton, a novice social worker, comes home each night with tales of reuniting families or saving kids from awful homes.

And it doesn't help when he has students like Jay, who need more help than Logan alone can provide.

Remus Puños finally has his life together, his broken years behind him. He has his own apartment and a column in The Village Voice. He’s recently reconciled with his twin, Roman, and his best friend, Virgil, and they’ve just scored a weekly gig at CBGBs.

He’s grown tall and strong and when most people catch sight of his leather jacket, Doc Martens, and spiky green hair, they cross to the other side of the street. Long-gone are his days of dodging fists back in Levittown.

So when his junkie neighbor bangs on his door at 3 AM, begging him to watch her son again for ‘just one day,’ he can't look the kid in the eye and say no, can he?
