Harley Morrison has never had much luck with women. His mother, a specialist in family law, abandoned him at a tender age and then when he began following her around, at the height of the bomb threats to Family Law Court judges, she called him a little sneak and threatened to sue his father.

Now his wife is having an affair with his business partner and he feels a failure, but all that is about to change, for Harley has just graduated from a series of WIN self-transformation courses and for the first time in his life, he is on a massive high:

Before WIN, he had existed in a permanent shroud of angst. He worried about the future; he worried about the country’s balance of payments and the world economy; he worried about the spread of AIDS; he worried about his relationships with women; and, more than anything, he worried about life passing him by.
