"A famous Canadian artist named Yana Potichny falls through the ice and drowns outside her cabin in Algonquin park. Twenty years later, a homeless man in Toronto finishes composing an opera and hurls himself in front of a streetcar. At that very moment, Yana's son, Charlie, learns that his record label has rejected his new album. The next day, as Charlie begins revising his album, a mysterious creature appears in a painting left to him by his mother and transforms Manic Toads into a masterpiece. As Charlie's luck improves, his best friend Greg, a hedonistic opera singer, sinks into a rut of depression and drug abuse as his marriage falls apart. It slowly emerges that in passing off the mysterious creature's work as his own, Charlie has upset the power balance between two ancient gods. To restore equilibrium and save their city, a colourful cast or neurotic artists and musicians must face their darkest fears, stage an epic opera and navigate the strange and wondrous realms of the ancient gods."-- Provided by publisher.
