Love hurts. Breakups hurt more.
When Hank Headley gets dumped, he'll do anything to forget his girlfriend. His high-pressure career depends on making clear, rational decisions.
Some lovesick people turn to booze or drugs. Hank does them one better: He rents a hideous creature specially bred to nibble his cares away.
It works like a charm.
But some things are hard to shake loose, once they get in your head.
