A hippie who loses his illusions and almost his life. A prim spinster who falls for a mass murderer. A great actor who can't remember his lines. A man who uses voodoo to win a marathon, but pays a heavy price. A Japanese soldier on Iwo Jima who refuses to believe the war is over. A man who commits a perfect murder, until fate steps in. A mockingbird who claims to be a peer of Mozart. A group who sells billionaires a trip to a resort inside a moon of Saturn. A clash between a fat man and a tough alley cat.
