Le gustan los subterráneos, conoce como nadie el metro de Nueva York y se mueve por el como un hermoso minotauro en su laberinto. Pero Lowboy tambien es un esquizofrenico paranoico, o al menos asi es como le han catalogado -o diagnosticado-. Una mañana, muy temprano, el chico, que ha dejado de tomar las medicinas que hacian que se sintiera aplastado bajo un cristal, se fuga de Bellavista, el psiquiatrico donde estaba internado, y vuelve al mundo para salvarlo.

Pero para eso necesita a Emily, una chica que conocio en su vida antes de la clinica, y ha salido a buscarla. Entretanto, Violet, su madre, hermosa y extraña, y Ali Lateef, un detective de la policia de Nueva York a cargo de casos de desaparecidos muy especiales, tambien le buscan a el.
