One-sentence summary: This is a book about self-redemption, set around 2008, using a sudden serious illness (transaminase as high as 861) as a wedge to reveal a young man's recollection of how he stepped from a small town "club" boy into the abyss of alcoholism. The story constantly shuttles between the calm examination of 2025 and the fiery youth of 2007-2008, intertwining the loyalty of the world, ignorant love, family bonds and personal ups and downs, and finally finds new life in the reconciliation with the past.
