The second novel by a senior editor at Cosmopolitan concerns the sad and surprising aftereffects of a young man's death. Ronnie Chase is a high-school football star headed for a bright future when a limo accident on prom night cuts his life short and disfigures his girlfriend Melissa. Ronnie's family--his bitter, compulsively eating mother Charlene; his lonely, gay older brother Philip; and his father Richard, who has since remarried--have never even come close to recovering from his death. And none of them know how to respond when Melissa shows up unexpectedly five years later at Charlene's house and claims to be pregnant with Ronnie's child. Has Ronnie somehow, miraculously, fathered a child from beyond the grave, or is there a more mundane, and considerably more unpleasant, explanation?

Bill Wyeth is a New York City real estate lawyer living the good life until he is blamed for a bizarre accident that tears a hole in it. He loses his wife, his son, his job, and his posh Upper East Side apartment, and joins the ranks of the down and out. Then he is introduced to the Havana Room, a private bar that's full of secrets, the hangout of a shady character named Jay Rainey, who needs Bill to handle a dubious real estate deal. Bill enters into what shows every sign of being something he shouldn't be involved in--but, strangely, the episode leads to a kind of redemption for a man who thought his life was irrevocably blighted.
