oung aspiring writer Ben Harvey is at the age where thoughts of the opposite sex overtake his everyday life.

Where he ends up is Chicago. He is immediately fascinated and enthralled by the sights and sounds of the big city and all that he believes that has to offer, but he quickly learns of the bad that goes along with it, largely discovered through his naiveté.
