Seven members of a film crew show up one at a time at Billy's Bar, the famous watering hole at the American Club of Hong Kong. There they talk to the bartender, Ho, who has the power to elicit their deepest secrets and desires. Questions like what is art cinema, how does it work, and who is in charge are discussed, and before long cimema is touted not only as the dominant art form, it tries to enfold existence itself into its frames, bringing up the greater question of appearance and reality.

J. Hayes Hurley is a novelist and a philosopher. He currently has forty-eight published novels including Those Brownsville Blues, The Adjunct, First Trilogy, Second Trilogy, and Motion and Rest. As well, he holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale. Hurley contends, from an existentialist standpoint, that philosophy finds its best expression when contained in literature. His book covers display the works of well known painters. Altogether then, philosophy is contained in literature and literature is wrapped in art.
