Vanmeter Symthe, lover of uncertainty, magnet to opportunity, finds himself in possession of a storage room—an art forger’s dream, filled with enough rare materials a forger would ever need. First, arrange a reunion in Zanzibar City with old friends, Dr. Frieda Wassergold, and Birdy Wire. A plan is forming. How much to tell them? And there’s Clara, Vanmeter’s deeply troubled Momma he swore to care for. Vanmeter, Frieda, and Birdy’s evolving friendship serves as a catalyst. Their lives are changing, just as the plan keeps changing. Borderline ludicrous. But to Vanmeter, ludicrous didn’t mean the plan couldn’t go. And so, it went.
