PLOT
It's 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants - an ear for poetry - is worried about his future. But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck & Peck, the most secretive, dysfunctional, and yet prestigious, poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon he's knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers - twins and enemies - as well as being privy to the private affairs of their 39 editors, whose professed mission is the same: Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest.
