The story of a man named Walter and his paranoid adventures in Seattle.
When readers first meet Walter, he rummages through his mail, finding mostly junk that includes an offer for a magical Soviet elixer and a chain letter promising large sums of money.
After a letter containing a quote from Nostradamus convinces Walter that he is being stalked like a little rabbit, he decides to flee.
And what better destination than a bunker of a building graced under the banner name of the New Museu.
