In this modern-day tale of madcap Manhattan by bestselling authors Larry King and Thomas H. Cook, a flurry of desperate guys and doll reach of their big chance: Arthur Vandameer is the left-wing media pundit and Allison is his beautiful, scheming teenaged daughter. Charlie Moon is the right-wing newspaper columnist, Roy Bumble is a con man without a con, and Harry Stumbo wishes Times Square could be unsafe again. Add to these a kid named goonie, a Bumble named Bea, and a huge peanut, and the result is a comic salute to the wacky vibrancy of New York City.
