From the back cover

A BBQ joint downstairs stays open until dawn, its drunken noise tormenting the whole apartment complex. When residents demand answers, the owner, Frank, responds with thuggish arrogance, and a printed notice blaming the neighbors ignites the building. Only after a furious mob blocks his entrance does Frank back down and promise to close by midnight.

But Frank and his wife, Brenda, are the neighborhood tyrants: over seventy absurd building rules, unpaid fees, red paint on doors, and a bratty kid defended with the catchphrase "Why are you arguing with a child?" When Brenda's pregnancy becomes Frank's excuse for dictating WiFi curfews and bans on perfume, the narrator in apartment 602, a self-described menace, answers with a mobile hotspot named to mock Frank's radiation fears.

Frank retaliates by keeping the BBQ open until 2 or 3 AM, punishing everyone. One rebel may not be enough, but the narrator is ready to take the stage.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

"If you're afraid of noise, move to a mansion. Otherwise, poor people just need to learn how to endure."
