Bottle Caps

Christian Kennedy can summarize the world in four words: sorry not a winner. As he floats through the aftermath of generation x, he sees life in terms of contests advertised on the labels of soda bottles and the game pieces under their caps: one in a million wins, all the rest are sorry not a winner. Half a year after his best friend Seth commits suicide over an ill-fated romance, Christian sustains a massive head injury during a vicious incident with the vice principal of his high school, and then finds himself thrown into a post-modern nightmare, a journey where there are no borders between life and death, dreams and reality, mass media and insanity. On his journey Christian encounters the horribly deformed ghost of Seth, is pursued by the mysterious Man From Hollywood, becomes involved with a religious terrorist organization called The Church, and journeys to the bloody depths of a godforsaken netherworld. Regardless, the odds remain the same: one in a million wins, and all the rest are sorry not a winner.
