Synopsis

Porn freak and jetsetter, John Self is the shameless heir to a fast-food culture where money beats out an insistent invitation to futile self-gratification. He is addicted to the twentieth century. Out in New York making a fortune but spending more, Self is embroiled in the corruption, the brutality and the obscenity of the money conspiracy. All the while he dreams of moving to California and having that body transplant he's been promising himself.
