Sonny and Dack, two life-long friends, sit in a bar in Newark -- or Staten Island, maybe -- and do what they seem to do best: try to solve every problem in the world except the problem of how two guys communicate. They make a hilarious study in the lengths we go to avoid telling those we care about what we really think. Along the way, Sonny and Dack take on academia, art, history, and morality...and then it's time for another beer.

Taylor Armstrong's struggle for identity in the literary world is interrupted by a visit from his recently-deceased novelist father Andy, in whose shadow he has always floundered. Andy arranged two special and mysterious bequests before his death: a generous cash gift to his alma mater, and a briefcase full of secrets for his son. Andy's spirit guides Taylor through the surprises in the briefcase as he learns that in both literature and life, we live on through what we leave behind.

Reese has buried his wife Babe's classic 1965 Mustang in the back yard. Why? Call it a panic attack. They both thought that Babe was involved last night in a freakish hit-and-run accident, hitting a child on a dark, foggy stretch of road. Now they've just found out that it was not a child, but a chimpanzee. A Wonder Chimp, actually, from the circus. And suddenly there's a clown at the front door, and the police are on the way. This could get ugly. Or just very, very funny.
