ある日、新宿をひとりで歩いていた小説家の「僕」は警官に呼び止められ、大麻所持の現行犯で逮捕される。
「ふざけんじゃねぇよ!」
警官の恫喝を浴びながら、僕は執拗な尋問と家宅捜索を受け、過酷な留置場での生活に入る。だが、僕にとって何よりも辛かったのは、最愛の恋人・あいとの連絡が全く取れなくなってしまったことだった。
ストリップ嬢のあいと僕は、お互いを唯一の理解者として、不器用に愛を育んでいた。事情も知らされず連絡が途絶えた「僕」を、あいがどれほど心配しているだろう‥‥。
裁判を終え、ようやく釈放されて彼女と再会した僕を待ち受けていたのは、しかし、さらなる悲劇だった。
著者が小説家として、自身が起こした事件への答えをはっきりと表明した、悲しいほどに一途なラブストーリー。

Wanna know what happened? Novala's books are always distinctly partially autobiographical, or at least, he writes what he knows, you could say... but this one is ACTUALLY (although supposedly technically still a work of fiction) the story of how it all went down. If you were around for the Great Drama of Novala in 2007, this is what you need to read.

I will never forget going to the signing of this one. Afterwards, he gave a speech apologizing and thanking all of us for still supporting him through all of this. I will never forget his tears. Or all of ours. <3
