| Ed Kennedy is nothing. Just plain old Ed, the guy who fakes his age so he can be a taxi driver, gets lectures from his mother, is in love with his best friend and is headed NOWHERE. Until he accidentally stops a bank robbery. That night a playing card - an ace of diamonds - comes in the mail. On it are three addresses. Because he doesn't know what else to do, he visits the first address, late at night. Soon he realises this address has problems - each night a drunk husband comes home and rapes his wife. Ed knows what he has to do: At each adress there are problems he has to solve - someone has to care about each of these troubled people, deliver the 'messages' to them. He works his way through all the suits of aces until the last ace, the ace of hearts, turns up. The three people listed are his three best friends, Ritchie, Marv and Audrey. He realises that although they have been friends for ever, each is closed off in some way from everyone else. | ||
