Charlie Sarris is a fix-it man, a janitor from Binghamton, New York, with no prospects. John Stone is a broken-down Indian medicine man on the road, an itinerant shaman too drunk to practice healing. Together they head out on the biggest binge ever recordeda joyous, wild, tender, heart-stopping quest to confront another shaman who has gone bad. They steal cars, rob stores, drink whiskey, smoke dope, seduce girls; and discover the frightening magic and old powers that are still alive and working in the modern world of highways and electric heating.
