Misty was a budding artist, when she met Peter. He is from an old family on Waytansea Island. They marry and Misty gets caught up in being a mother and housewife. When Peter lies in a coma after a botched suicide attempt, things start to take a very strange turn. As a contractor, Peter apparently walled off rooms in his clients' houses and covered the walls with vile messages. People on the island start pressuring Misty to start painting her masterpiece, and suddenly Misty's luck turns really bad.

Usually, once you accept the story and characters, Palahniuk's novels make sense (in a way), but this time, I just could not "get into it".
