It's a heavy responsibility, one he has always been told is his and his alone. With one phone call, the family legacy becomes his to bear, and along with it, the suit that will give him untold power to accomplish his role as superhero. It's a big day for Max Westchester, too, one for which he's been training his whole life. Yes, wearing this baby, David will definitely soar to the heights-in more ways than one. After all, they borrowed things from each other all the time, and Max's suit looks great-a power suit. For his important job interview, he'll just borrow the suit delivered to his best friend across the hall. The biggest day of David McKay's life threatens to implode when the custom-made suit he's ordered isn't delivered. And Ángel, the man Sean had viewed as a partner and protector, might also be his otherworldly judge and executioner. What once seemed merely strange soon crosses the line into supernatural and sinister. When night falls on the French Quarter, Sean realizes Ángel and the john want more from him than he was expecting to give.

As Ángel tells him, in this city and this business, you have to get a little weird to survive. Sean’s no seasoned streetwalker, but he’s not above it either, not when he’s already itching for his next fix.Ī familiar-seeming stranger named Ángel may be his ticket to some quick cash, but only if Sean’s willing to help him indulge a high-class john’s weird fetish for the night. His girlfriend’s broken up with him for a sugar daddy, a gun-toting pimp has robbed him of everything but the clothes on his back, and he’s down to his last two Oxycontin. Street kid Sean O’Hara has never had it easy, but New Orleans has driven him to his knees. Will he make the right decision, or will the floodwaters bound for New Orleans sweep him away? Addiction and desperation drive Sean O’Hara to a critical crossroads.
