Malone is slipping away, his body failing. But he won't go quietly. As death creeps closer, he spins tales of his past - the eccentric Saposcat, the Lambert family, the enigmatic Macmann and Moll. Memories and fantasies blur in his fading mind, the line between reality and imagination dissolving. In these final moments, Malone seeks to leave one lasting legacy, a story that will endure beyond his mortal end.
