Uli, suffering from amnesia, finds himself on a mission, but isn't quite sure what it is, who sent him, or even who he is. He soon awakens to the awful fact that he isn't in New York City at all - rather, he is a key player in a strange alternate history of both his city and his country. Actual characters from the 60s and 70s, including Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary, are but a few of the folks who populate this alternate version of American history.
