DANIEL IS A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL STAND-UP COMEDIAN WHO HAS MADE A CAREER OUT OF PLAYING OUTRAGEOUSLY ON THE PREJUDICES OF HIS PUBLIC. BUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, HE HAS BEGUN TO DETEST LAUGHTER IN PARTICULAR AND MANKIND IN GENERAL. DESPITE THIS, DANIEL IS UNABLE TO STOP HIMSELF BELIEVING IN THE POSSIBILITY OF LOVE.

A THOUSAND YEARS ON, WAR, DROUGHT AND EARTHQUAKES HAVE DECIMATED THE EARTH AND DANIEL24 LIVES ALONE IN A SECURE COMPOUND - HIS ONLY COMPANION, A CLONED DOG NAMED FOX. OUTSIDE, THE REMNANTS OF THE HUMAN RACE ROAM IN PACKS, WHILE DANIEL24 ATTEMPTS TO DECIPHER HIS PREDECESSOR''S HISTORY. IN A NIGHTMARISH VISION OF THE IMPLOSION OF THE MODERN WORLD, HE, LIKE HIS PREDECESSOR ATTEMPTS TO FATHOM THE MEANING OF LOVE, SEX, SUFFERING AND REGRET.
