Instead, with summer jobs waitressing at a country club on Long Island, pickings are slim.<br /><br />Mikey is a bully. Marco is off limits. Jose is angry. Mr Haight is a sleaze. Josh is too keen. And Other Josh… he's something else entirely.<br />It's a miracle only one of them ends up dead.<br /><br />Dee is pretty sure she didn't mean to kill him.
