A victim of sex trafficking, Dylan, when a new law is passed, allowing him to sue his abusers, is forced to look back on what happened to him, exploring a drug and sex-fueled world of bathhouses, clubs and strangers' apartments, emerging with a new purpose--extracting justice on his own terms. Growing up in suburban New York, Dylan lived through three years as a victim of sex trafficking at the hands of Vincent, who promised to marry Dylan when he turned eighteen. Years later— long after a police investigation that went nowhere, and after the statute of limitations for the crimes perpetrated against him have run out—t he long shadow of Dylan’s trauma still looms over the fragile life in the city he’s managed to build with his fiancé, Moans, who knows little of Dylan’s past. Then a new law— the Child Victims Act— opens a new way foreword: a one-year window during which Dylan can sue his abusers. For someone who was trafficked as a child, does money represent justice? As Dylan is forced to look back at what happened to him and try to make sense of his past, he begins to explore a drug and sex-fueled world of bathhouses, clubs, and strangers’ apartments, only to emerge, barely alive, with a new clarity of purpose: a righteous determination to gaze, unflinching, upon the brutal men whose faces have haunted him for a decade, and to extract justice on his own terms. -- adapted from jacket
