Newt

Newt is a frightening ride through the hopes and horrors of a troubled American immigrant. Set in Seattle's loft art scene, two young lovers, Alysha and Newt, discover that the past is prelude to oblivion. Switching elegantly between Alysha's horrific past and her frenzied present, Newt delves into doomed love and taboo lust. A Caribbean woman loves a Seattle sculptor. Their romance should end with slurred daquiri kisses. But there's this little problem. Someone else wants her—the guy in the aqua Thunderbird. The color of his ride clues her who's driving. Her first lover. Someone related.
