Cold, cold city. San Francisco. Christmas. The new millennium.

Charly Bingswanger, smalltime crook, needs to lie low. A mix-up and a rock worth far more than he realizes is making his the hottest spot in town.

Mistakes beget mistakes and soon he's off to Mexico, ending up in Tokyo, where one day he wakes to find for the first time in months a minute of tranquility.

Knock on the door.
