Hes making a name for himself as the kingpin of his smut-peddling high school syndicate, the other gangs are staying out of his business, and hes dating the girl of his dreams, Esme. But when Esme gets kidnapped, things start to get seriously weird, and the only man drunk enough to help is a bearded, booze-soaked, supernatural bounty hunter who goes by the name of Jackson Jackie Ronin. Plunged into the increasingly bizarre landscape of Cape Towns supernatural underworld, Baxter and Ronin team up to save Esme. On a journey that takes them through the realms of impossibility, they must face every conceivable nightmare to get her back, including an odd brush with the apocalypse.
