An abandoned child hustles on the streets of a dystopic, near-future Boston in the aftermath of the Great Devaluation - squatters have turned the tunnel system into an underground hive known as Dig City. In a convoluted search for his unknown parents, Eddie narrates through several levels of deception: street performer, pickpocket, adoptee, casino employee, and finally commander of the subterranean revolution. Based loosely on Oedipus.
