Description: Potter Mays retreats immediately after college graduation to the safe house of his childhood home. Each morning his mother makes him eggs just the way he likes them. His father ("not to pressure") promises to help him find a job. His best friend, Stuart, an Independent Thought Contractor working out of his parents' lavish pool house, is willing to serve as a kind of life coach, provided, of course, that Potter pays for his services all summer.

The only one missing is Audrey, Potter's (former? future?) girlfriend, who is backpacking around Europe with her beautiful bisexual traveling companion, Carmel. Potter was not invited, and getting a good night's sleep has become an issue for him. As enigmatic packages arrive from Audrey, the refuge of life at home soon proves illusory.
