Isaac is a radio reporter in New York City who begins to recount a story about himself on the air.  When he was eight, his mother and father died in an automobile accident that left him in a wheelchair. Continuing his story, Isaac recounts how he recently received an anonymous tip from someone identified only as “Ancient Chinese Girl.”   She tells him a perfectly able-bodied man attempted to bribe a doctor into amputating his leg. In the course of his investigation, he meets Fiona, the aforementioned Ancient Chinese Girl. For reasons she keeps to herself, Fiona guides Isaac to a netherworld of people afflicted with a perverse desire to be disabled.
