Chris, a burnt out sixties radical, has settled in Chicago seeking obscurity as an insurance underwriter. He wants to forget his activist past, but he is besieged by old cronies and unwanted new acquaintances, including a former Black militant who has been surgically reborn as a female cop, a former wife who speaks in sixties rock lyrics, a bomb throwing Serbian restauranteur, Chris' former partner in radicalism who now despises the women's movement, a prostitute who believes in the moral virtues of promiscuity, and Chris' Black Polish landlady
