The story focuses on three people and the love affair that happens between them. Edmund, the son of wealthy New York businessman, his wife Zoe, and a 19-year-old girl named Karina whom Edmund brings home to satisfy his wife's request to explore a different kind of relationship. When Edmund tells his friend Jeff about it, Jeff says that Edmund has found a unicorn - a bisexual girl who wishes to have a sexual relationship with a man and a woman. Karina lays out the "rules" of the relationship that she expects Edmund and Zoe to follow. "First rule - there are no strings. I am here to please you both but not to love either of you. Rule number two - I don't play favorites. I'm not going to become your mistress or Zoe's bestie. Rule three - when I want out, I'm out, and you won't see me ever again after that. Final rule - until then I sleep exclusively with the two of you and no one else." Complications arise when both Zoe and Edmund don't follow the rules.

"I grew up watching the New York skyline, and from my flat tar roof in Queens I was able to see the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan as it was being built. I felt a palpable thrill each time I passed these glistening towers of glass and steel. Those magnificent edifices defined the size and vibrancy of the city for New Yorkers and people all over the world. When those stately giants collapsed on 9/11, their loss was compounded by the civilians and rescuers who were inside when they fell. I knew people who died that day, and most every day since 9/11 I think about them. Because of those lost, I felt an obligation to react to 9/11 in fiction. "The Savage Quiet September Sun is the result of three and a half years of pain, reflection, and eventually catharsis. -Victor Lana, August 2005"
