When a young poet meets a beautiful drifter with a backpack full of stolen cash and a killer on her trail, he learns the true meaning of poetic revenge.

SYNOPSIS:

A wild-haired homeless janitor named ZEKE keeps a mysterious journal filled with poetic gibberish that somehow tells this story: Born of a Russian father and East Indian mother, MILAN BARTOVSKY drives a delivery van and writes poetry in heavy traffic, using magnetic words on his dashboard. The love of his life, ZOE RILEY, works in her famous father’s poetry café, but Milan is so shy he can barely talk to her, let alone get up on stage on poetry night.

Then DAISY CUTTER hits town with a postcard from a guy named BENNY GOLD and a backpack full of stolen cash. Hired killer LANDON DENHART, who has a thing about Shiva the God of Destruction and a fetish for switchblades, is close on her heels. The threesome’s game of cat and mouse entangles several local misfits, including Milan and Zoe. How does it end? Zoe falls for Milan’s poetry. Milan gets the girl. The cops get Denhart. Daisy and Ben ride off in to the sunset (in an ambulance). And crazy Zeke writes one final entry in his journal: In the House of Louie, the dungeon of a madman’s mind, a body saved in the nick of time, a quirky remedy to love’s lost rhyme, revenge is death’s biggest fan, stirring up the master plan, changing the way the river flows, which way it goes nobody knows … while we all live our blind lives out in blindness, and poets see with eyes of angels.
