A fast-paced comic adventure of stolen antiquities and the New York art world featuring an unlikely hero named Fred Munson. Fred, a New York co-op based Quixote perched somewhere between Willy Loman and Indiana Jones becomes obsessed with a pristine Greek vase from the fifth century BC and a pottery shard he sees in a grainy video.
