Without formal education, marketable skills sets or talent of any kind, ludlum "Hozay" Smith goes from abject anonymity to become the lovable and openly corrupt, "Big Deal," Mayor of Fogarea, an alternative universe domicile based on the highway sign, "FOG AREA," warning of impending and quick forming weather patterns. Beginning with the story of his dysfunctional family and early childhood, he weaves a hilarious tale of his rise to political power where a fluke occurrance thrusts him into the national spotlight. He briefly feasts on the leftover crumbs of "C" list celebrity before death spiraling back into abject anonymity.
