SYNOPSIS
Barkley Michaelson is in a deep life rut. He's struggling
to finish his PhD thesis when his father, the learned Eli
Michaelson, wins the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
Barkley and his mother, Sarah, a renowned forensic
psychiatrist, now have the ill-fortune of living with a
man-eating monster whose philandering ways have
gotten less and less discreet. As if Barkley's world is
not bad enough, on the eve of his father receiving the
Nobel, Barkley is kidnapped and the requested ransom
is the $2,000,000. in the Nobel prize money. Needless
to say, Eli refuses to pay it and so starts a venomous
tale of familial dysfunction, lust, betrayal and ultimately
revenge. In the words of Michel de Montaigne, the 16th
century philosopher. "There is more barbarity in eating
a man alive than in eating him dead."
