Pomeroy, a street musician on parole for statutory rape, feels he is destined for fame and fortune. Armed with a marathon ditty entitled "Ants in My Pants," he heads to the Occupy Oakland Movement of 2011 and its sister movements in Europe. Pretending to protest against banks, plutocracy, and blind militarism (Pomeroy himself is a Viet Nam vet), Pomeroy uncorks such lyrics as "Well, there's a rumble in the city and a rumble in the dale 'cause the banks are sitting pretty and the government's for sale." But Pomeroy is no proponent of social justice. "When I strike it rich," he addmits to himself, "I ain't giving squat to no dope-smoking layabouts." 

Pomeroy's crusade entangles him with the Black Block Anarchists, a gang of vandals who want to tear down society, and Feman, a group of Ukranian feminists who flaunt their bare breasts to protest Russian imperialism. These groups hail him as a man of the people, a status that Pomeroy does not dispute. "It don't hurt to be a man of the people," Pomeroy muses, "if it helps you sell albums and score pussy."

Pursuing his dream of stardom, Pomeroy battles cops in Oakland, Ireland, and France, performs as a front act for Pussy Riot, and serves a stint in Fluery-Merogis Prison, Europe's most infamous lockup. Returning to America after his release from Fluery-Merogis Prison, he is recruited by the anti-gentrification movement in San Francisco's Mission District and helps his parole officer, a fiery Latina, evade Little Bo Peep, a homicidal stalker. Through it all, he retains his blind optimism, his foul-mouthed humor, and his unshakable belief that all women want to go to bed with him.
