At seventeen, David "Lizard" Hochmeyer is nearly seven feet tall, a legend quarterback, and Princeton-bound. His future seems basically assured until his parents are mysteriously murdered, departing Lizard and his old sister, Kate, adrift and by themselves. In a mansion over the pond off their Connecticut home lives the world's biggest ballerina, Sylphide, and her rock and roll star partner, whose own disasters intersect with Lizard's - and Kate's - in the most intimate and amazing ways. Over time that follow, Lizard and Kate are obsessed with piecing along the motives behind their parents' deaths, returning time and again to their father's absent briefcase, his shady business dealings and shaky money, also to Sylphide, who may have threaded her way into Lizard's and Kate's lives - a lot more deeply than either experienced ever realized. From the football areas of Princeton to a stint with the NFL, from the sophisticated dances at the mansion to the premium restaurant he opens, it only takes Lizard an eternity to set things right again.
