Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Former police officer turned street hustler Lenny Nero prowls the nightclubs of turn of the century Los Angeles, specializing in selling SQUID recordings: experiences recorded directly from the cerebral cortex onto a mini-disc that allow the user to "jack in" and experience all recorded sensory inputs as if they're actually doing it themselves. Despite his slick appearance and cool demeanor, Lenny is still deeply unhappy over losing his girlfriend, a rock singer named Faith, to a sleazy record producer, Philo Gant. In the last days of 1999, Lenny's pursuit of Faith leads him to uncovering a conspiracy involving the recent murder of controversial hip hop artist, Jeriko One - and revealing what really happened could tear the already unstable city apart.
