The sweep of the second hand
"Malcolm, our protagonist, has a lot of problems: his ex-girlfriend, Lena, won't give him back his watch; the small art movie theatre he runs isn't doing well; it's hot and sticky and his apartment isn't air-conditioned; he can't sleep because he thinks he's losing a minute of sleep each night--and what's more, a host of yellowjackets are living in his wall. As if all this wasn't enough, Lena is about to marry a successful cardiologist. Couldn't she at least give him his watch back?"--Jacket
