Paul Quarrington Des Howell is a former rock ânâ roll star who never leaves his secluded oceanfront mansion. Naked, rich and fabulously deranged, he subsists on a steady diet of whiskey, pharmaceuticals and jelly doughnuts and occasionally works on his masterpiece, âWhale Music.â One day, upon awakening from his usual drunken stupor, Des discovers on his sofa a young alien from the faraway universe of Toronto. This girl has made the trek to Desâs hideaway because she believes in the âWhale Musicâ and sheâs crazy enough to think that Des can make a comeback hit with his mad magnum opus.
