Through crazed pathos and blinding fear this is an uplifting story of humanity restored - not an easy task for a jail bird, schizophrenic and murderer. Our hero typifies the struggle between good and evil and the axiom: Life's a bitch and then you die. Petie, step out here and say a few words. He'll do it if you give him a chance. It's the sort of thing he's good at. In fact, he does it all the time. Petie is the other half of each of us that few people talk about. St. Augustine did, in his Confessions; but Petie puts a new perspective on things - after all, he's a cricket. Close to death and in conflict with himself and society - find out how our hero is restored through extraordinary involvement with Petie, his alter-ego, the product of dream-madness.
