Ah, the unfortunate Bartley Hannigan.
Teacher burnout is just one of his problems.
There's also his disintegrating marriage, the inheritance of a haunted property with its uninvited bibulous guest, a psycho poet with a fatal attraction, the arrival of an Irish banshee hunter with poor personal hygiene, his sudden passion for a stripper, and eventually, the hit man on his trail.
But as the gypsy said, this shit-storm will lead to either a higher plane of understanding--or sudden death.
