A quirky tale of love, sex, and friendship at the dawn of the Internet Age. Is there life after having your heart destroyed? When 'happily ever after' crashes and burns? In the shadow of losing the love of his life, one man attempts to salvage his soul. He is Nigel Q. Bunnytail. Twenty-something, artistic warrior prince, and sex fiend par excellence. To accomplish this, he decides to leave behind the tainted trappings of his Philadelphia and his band of gifted friends, for the rustic charm of Spokane, Washington - and the white-haired therapist Sigrid Anderson, who can't wait to either marry him or dissect him.
