As the kid from Missouri begins to disappear deeper and deeper into the demimonde - sleeping in police HQ, drawing dangerously close to a hostess who works at the Den of Delicious and taking on the gangs responsible for human-trafficking in Japan - he comes to lose all sense of where his life ends and the 8th Circle of Hell strip club begins. As a mobster's mistress (she is one of 15) notes, Adelstein is almost a twin...
