Noelle Werlin, the beautiful wife of a rock 'n' roll legend, was never able to shake the ghosts of her past, but dying at the hands of one of those ghosts never crossed her mind.
In Woods Hole on Cape Cod, Noelle grew up as Neptune de Oliveira's daughter Celestina - otherwise known as Tina the Tease. Changing her name and running away to New York as a teenager, she thought she could run away from her life of unspeakable sexual depravity.
Tina's body is found with a marlin spike through her heart. Her cocaine addicted, philandering, husband, Butch Werlin, is the NYPD's primary suspect. But the morbid class reunion of childhood boyfriends who congregate for Tina's funeral think otherwise. They think the murderer is actually from Woods Hole, and that somehow their high school buddy Billy Bagwell has been at the center of some gruesome web since their teenage years.
Despite the dread Billy feels when returning to his hometown, he knows he owes it to Tina to see her off properly, that and even in death she can seduce him to her. Upon his return, Billy's past with his old friends - especially with the former wild man, present day Catholic priest Zal - floods his mind with classic machismo and rite-of-passage boyhood events. But some of their moments were a bit darker, and all revolved or involved Tina...moments that Billy doesn't want to remember.
This psycho-thriller carries Billy Bagwell deeper and deeper into long-repressed memories of thirty-five-year-old crimes from the days when Billy was known as "Bagger, the crazy Bagman." As the days grow darker, Billy finds himself caught in a turbulent tide of past homoerotic encounters, lost innocence, rage, religion and lust.
