Carla, Sharon and Duey have spent years, too many to count, in Auckland's fashion business; worn out, jaded and tired of being exploited, they believe nothing is new. Tommy, Cal and Kurt are millennials from nowhere with family money behind them, earnest and anti-ironic, ready to reinvent the business. Both generations want a way out of a damaged world. The novel follows them through the city's fashion scene and its clashes between age groups, and moves in the end into the surreal.
