The story

F.H., who earned his nickname because of his self-destructive personality, recounts the story of his descent into heroin addiction and his eventual recovery.

His story starts in Iowa City in 1971, where as an aimless young man he meets Michelle and becomes romantically involved with her.

His retellings include a stint as an orderly in a hospital and a position as a newsletter editor at an elderly care home in Arizona.
