David, an artist, sleeps less and less because of the boys who gather under his window every evening, leaving behind joint tips, drink pouches and broken flowerpots. When the street wants to complain, he will not join in, and he cannot tell whether fear, attraction or self-interest keeps him silent. While the group robs him of his peace, he begins to take something back from them. Through David's doubts about whether to call the police, the novel turns over questions of gentrification, class, race, privilege and queer identity.
