Follow the exploits of wise-cracking New York author Dan Henry as he lurches forward from unemployed writer to host of a TV sports talk show--with help and hindrance from his brilliant, sex-addicted attorney, and from a murky, mysterious source who feeds him inside information.

In doing so, he brings some familiar villains to justice. Against all odds, Dan becomes a hero. "Long Way From Home" weaves relentless humor through waves of friendship, betrayal, and redemption. It is comedy of a most serious nature.
