A Faustian story centering on two homeless people, Gail and Rembrandt, who meet at a shelter, seated next to each other for a meal. They begin with small talk, but it quickly becomes clear that Rembrandt, a 90-year-old man, is ... unique. His story of homelessness begins with a wager with the Black Bottle Man, an incarnation of the devil, and a quest to find a champion to defeat him.
