Synopsis

Maine Hudson has a high tolerance for pharmaceuticals and a low tolerance for everything and everyone else.

This includes his Greek parents, who bankroll his glorious isolation in London.

This includes his career as a consultant, his clients, his boss, the majority of his colleagues and people he sees on the way to work.

This includes the dumb model boyfriend of the American girl that he has decided to fall in love with.

This includes her also.

When Maine fails to obliterate himself through drug overdoses, the obsessive changing of his legal name and half-hearted thoughts of suicide, it falls to his central nervous system to pick up the challenge of trying to kill him off.

Can Maine survive with his lack of values intact?

About this title

Product Description:

24-year-old Maine works a thankless graduate job, takes too many recreational and prescription drugs and spends too much of his wealthy parents' money. He finds a kindred spirit in Sadie, a rich American girl now living in London with her male model boyfriend, Guy. Disillusioned with the life they have chosen, Maine and Sadie attempt to escape the boredom of city life through decadence and excess. And Maine begins to fall in love. But when he is struck by a neurological disease, he is forced to question whether his lifestyle is actually causing the melancholy he's fighting.
