When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they’re broke, adrift, & buoyed only by their friendship & ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; & withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity.
Over the decades, their relationships deepen & darken, tinged by addiction, success, & pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind & body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, & haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he’ll not only be unable to overcome – but that will define his life forever.
