Remembrance Day, 1965, and Hayden Fuller is named the game's third star. But the celebration is short-lived as he learns of his father's murder. With less than three days to solve the crime before returning to the Habs for a home-and-home series against Detroit, Fuller tumbles into the clutches of a cult, the Peoples Way to Christ and their forthcoming Black Mass, the Whiftields, a Rosedale family who made their money in munitions, home security systems, and corruption, and the Defeatniks, a group of University of Toronto students who live their lives on the edges, and seek to "dismantle the universe." While searching for the brains behind this dismantling Fuller also undergoes a personal journey, one of betrayal, darkness, and ultimately forgiveness. The Collector's Edition of Neon Kiss includes the author's introduction "Crime Noir and the Poetics of Uncertainty."
