As he and Sophina celebrate the New Year and a fresh start, one truly shocking, tragedy shakes his community - and the entire United States - to its very core.

Victor is the overweight, thirty-something, underappreciated cook at Pete and Dolly's, a roadside diner in upstate New York where the regulars are staler than the coffee, and just as bitter. Victor lives with his loving but domineering mother Dolly, who owns the diner.
