Der Roman einer schrecklich neurotischen Familie! Jack Madigas Vater, der berühmte Rockstar Baz Madigan, starb früh, getreu dem Motto 'live fast die young'. Damals war Jack noch ein kleiner Junge und seine Mutter gerade mit den Rolling Stones durchgebrannt. Heute ist er selbst alleinerziehender Vater eines pubertierenden Sohnes. Bislang hatte Jack das Familienleben einigermaßen im Griff, doch als das Erbe seines Vaters langsam zur Neige geht, sieht er keinen anderen Ausweg, als auch noch sein heruntergekommenes Bostoner Stadthaus zu verkaufen. Wäre da nicht ein Problem: Er leidet unter Agoraphobie und hat seit Jahren die Türschwelle nicht überschritten. Die Filmrechte sind bereits an Hollywood verkauft.
