Tom Trinity believes baseball is everything after throwing no-hitters as a high school pitcher. Until Tammy, fostered by his mother into their Winchester house, an ornate Victorian monstrosity, disrupts his life like a switch hitter he cannot strike out with his fiercest fastball. She surfs with the same competitive edge. A rivalry develops. But Tammy cannot outdo Tom's tales. Some too outrageous or too maniacal even for the pen of Edgar Allen Poe. Winchester, a 18th century diabolical doctor, forces slaves to construct an enormous arboretum to rival any Brazilian rainforest where Tom discovers the skeleton of a monkey buried with a sapphire screwed into its head. A blue dolphin streaming through a blue lagoon inspires the fluidity of Tom's windup and delivery. A world of sensual and terrifying delights Tammy eventually submits to.
