Hell for Chris is a studio apartment above a bookstore that shelves only old, torn copies of harlequin romance novels. He gets a job working part time in a mechanics shop and comes home with grease in the creases of his skin and takes bubble baths and drinks red wine and reads paperbacks with Fabio on the cover. According to the bookstore owner, who died by the hands of his wife, the knife scar on his neck pale and thin in the sun, it’s supposed to teach him some kind of new age, self-help bullshit about opening up and letting himself get in touch with his feminine side.
