As their lives intertwine and their stories unfold, the boy is forced to confront family secrets, strange puppets and a nightmarish world of violence and betrayal, in a dark fable of childhood innocence and adult pain.

Six star-crossed characters meet in the urban twilight of Manhattan 2038; a perversely safe future city where citizens wear ID tags and police cruisers stalk the streets like slow-moving sharks. There's Daisy the fiery go-go dancer, who makes sparks fly with the (not-so-average) busboy John. There's Strel, the club manager, pursued by Haitous, a former champion prizefighter. And then there's Kim, the jittery barbabe, charmed by the magnetic Eloy, an artist obsessed with coaxing the perfect pitch from a chorus of 100 tea kettles. Filled with wit, sex, charm, and wonder, "100 per cent" is a prescient view of America's future, presented by critically acclaimed writer and artist Paul Pope (THB).
