Night Train

Jerzy Mulvaney, jack of all trades and master of none, lives by wits and nerve, alone and broke on the streets of LA, bumming booze and meals where he can, befriending the friendless, bolstering the downtrodden and hoping, finally, for a miracle that will justify a life lived on the fringe for the sake of art never accomplished. But will such a miracle present itself? Will his memories of the mysterious Tarantula Woman somehow materialize on the printed page? Will his stories of the road somehow yield the depth and wisdom he has sought through an unorthodox and adventurous lifetime? Will the illusive Night Train, its whistle ever distant yet beckoning like a siren, arrive in time to carry him to a better life and the fulfillment of a lost dream? If indeed it does, it will be just in time for Jerzy Mulvaney.
