Publisher's Synopsis
Sam Bennett is the last of a dying breed, a former Mad Man, now made redundant after thirty years at the same advertising agency. Left with his awards and a case of Bulgarian whiskey (which he still can't remember buying), Sam retreats to his home, awaits the summer arrival of his daughter and crazy son-in-law, is plagued by panic attacks and has an incident involving a pressed ham on a liquor store window with Max, the young security guard from Sam's former office building.With the ground feeling like a trampoline, Sam sets out to do the one thing Mary, his wife, wants more than anything else?a grandchild. It won't be easy with Muller, his suicidal son-in-law, jumping off roofs an drinking green paint, or chasing after Max the security guard's mom, but life is full of surprises. As Sam's doctor Krupsky tells him, "Life's a crapshoot. At least you filled the cheap seats."Sam is about to learn the greatest lessons in life, even if that means stealing his neighbor's pot, and getting more people stoned than he ever imagined possible.
