Helping the homeless gives Jolie much needed consistency. But when a stranger struts into her Jersey Shore creperie, writing cryptic songs on napkins and then disappearing, her world becomes anything but routine. Reed can play the soul out of his saxophone, but he's hiding something. Why else would he reveal so little about himself, or plan one secluded, albeit eccentric, date after another? And what's in that backpack he carries everywhere? Then again, with her distressed brother missing, an estranged mother returning home, and a feisty grandmother acting weirder than usual, Jolie can't decipher whether her suspicions are valid or dangerous delusions. When inexplicable slashings of the homeless occur in her otherwise safe town, Jolie's devices begin to fail.
