Everything changed on a rain-slicked sidewalk when Eddie ran into Vernon, his ex-brother-in-law and a former drug dealer. Vernon looked different—sharp, polished, and radiating a predatory kind of confidence. He offered Eddie a transparent pill called NZT-48. It was a "clear pill," a pharmaceutical grade nootropic that promised to unlock the dormant 80 percent of the human brain.
But the drug was a jealous master. As the initial supply ran out, Eddie discovered Vernon murdered in his apartment. Eddie found the hidden stash of NZT and a ledger of names, but he also inherited Vernon’s enemies.
Information on the that continues the story.
Eddie Spinola was a man drowning in the gray static of a life half-lived. A struggling writer in New York City, he was haunted by a looming book deadline he hadn't even started and a girlfriend who had finally grown tired of his stagnation. His apartment was a graveyard of empty takeout boxes and unwashed laundry—a physical manifestation of his cluttered, unproductive mind.
