On a quiet Sunday night at the Grinning Leprechaun, as Emmet Hatcher contemplates his place in the zoo that is humanity, a snake calling himself Samael Adeline slithers in and beats Emmet in an unusual game of darts. Unwelcomed excitement interrupts the confused bartender's peaceful, boring life. Emmet narrates the resulting adventure with a self-deprecating, dry wit. Aided by his friend Coogan, a stoner who's a genius with computers and theology; Zoe, Emmet's immortal guardian angel; and Geoff, the bar owner who's been dead for a year, Emmet tries to decipher what the snake wants of him. Along the way, he rediscovers a love older than time and comes to realize that the people he knows, including himself, aren't who he thought they were, but who they needed to be. As they unravel Samael's web of deceit, Emmet and his friends realize that the fate of a world hangs on their response. Too bad he's still an effing idiot who doesn't know shit about anything. Good luck indeed, mankind.
