Le jour de Noël, avec l'aide de son petit-fils, George pensait toujours avec regret à la perte de Violette, la qu'il aimait il y a des décennies, il revient dans le temps et revit et change peut-être même son passé non résolu.
Harvey's Last Night on the Avenue concerns a sensitive young man who joins a group of his friends on a bar crawl the night before he moves from New York back to his hometown in Texas. An obsessive and socially awkward person, Harvey ruminates over many of his minor social faux pas that he perceives as huge errors. As the night goes on, he accrues more and more faults in his mind, and becomes increasingly unable to connect with the people around him.
