Mickey Shuster, the world's (former) greatest detective, wakes in a bizarre-noir world, with no memory of his past. Hunted by an array of strange characters who each have their own agenda with him, Shuster's not sure what is a clue and what is a trap. Who is The Man in Black and why does he speak in riddles? And who is this Lady in Red, and why doesn't she speak at all?
But those who hunt him are not his only concern. Shuster must decide which is more important - solving this mystery, or feeding his nasty heroin addiction.
