Publisher's summary

In the stifling summer of 1953, Fort Hancock's oppressive monotony traps Edward Durand in a cycle of conformity, until an unexpected encounter beneath the pier pulls him into the intoxicating world of Johnny and his motley crew. Amid the shadows, accompanied by the haunting melodies of discordant jazz, Edward discovers a secret society where rebellious spirits converge, their passions fueled by forbidden literature and rich discussions. Tempted by Johnny's enigmatic presence and the sultry Sally, Edward becomes entranced with tales of bawdy adventures and the promise of a world beyond the confining fort walls. But as dawn breaks and the regimented day begins, Edward faces the tension of two contrasting lives: one bound by the military's tight grip and the other by the promise of wild freedom. Dive into a tale of rebellion, art, and awakening, where the magic of the night holds the power to transform.
