Description

In The Nervous System, Decimal stumbles upon information concerning the gruesome murder of a prostitute and a prominent US senator's involvement. Immediately he finds himself chasing ghosts and fighting for his life, pursued by Blackwater style private military contractors and the ever-present spectre of his own past. Decimal confronts a crepuscular world of Korean hostess bars, childhood bogeymen and the face of the military-industrial complex gone haywire; all framed by a city descending toward total chaos.
