Aaron Schuyler is a ne'er-do-well, a cheat, an exploiter, a drunk, and a
lifelong New Yorker. New Mexico is about to change everything about
Schuyler, in this fresh and witty comedy about second chances and
redemption.
At 52, Aaron Schuyler has destroyed his life and doesn't care.
Professionally ruined, flat broke, and estranged from his ex-wife and
children, Schuyler's only concerns are sponging free drinks by crashing
funerals and staying on the good side of his primary money supply, his
formidable British mother, Clementine.
But Clementine has a plan. Praying for divine aid from her personal god,
Winston Churchill, Clementine creates a Winston-inspired scheme to
reform her worthless son. Clementine presents Schuyler with an
ultimatum--she'll bail him out one last time, if he moves from New York
to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and takes a job at the local Sam's Club.
In New Mexico, Schuyler meets people unlike any he's ever known--the
enigmatic Indian artist Lone Goose, the blue collar Sam's Club workers
who accept him as one of their own, and the beautiful and no-nonsense
Anita Chatterjee, with whom Schuyler is immediately smitten.
For the first time in his life, Schuyler wants to be a better
person--and as he rereads his diary of his past life, he realizes the
extent of his failures and his misdeeds. Can Schuyler adapt to a life of
responsibility? To a mature relationship? To New Mexico? To shaking
scorpions out of his boots? Winston help him!
