Description

A mysterious adventure filled with laughter, fisticuffs, mystery and love.

Meet Ed Kennedy, a nineteen-year-old boy with no big plans for the future. He's a miserable card player, helpless with sex, neurotically in love with his best friend Audrey, and devoted to his old dog, Porter, with whom he shares his coffee. His life goes on languidly and uneventfully until one day he accidentally stops a bank robbery.

That's when he finds the first ace in his inbox!
And that's when Ed becomes the messenger.

Drawn into the fates of strangers, he wanders the city, helping and hurting (when necessary), until one question remains: who is behind Ed's mission?
