About this ebook
TV sitcom pilot episode. Set in the late 1990s, an ex-punk, now "respectable" and married, finds himself out of work and unwanted. On top of this, his wife is conducting an affair. At every turn, things are getting on top of him. Something will surely have to give. Maybe it's time to think about reforming the band.

WENDY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND NATALIE.
