SLOW EDDIE is a story of friendship, race, class, love and loss that unfolds on Cape Cod. Eddie, a bike-riding school teacher is friends with Harvard classmates Chip and Jamie, respectively a patrician lawyer and smart-mouthed Jewish doctor.

Supporting characters include Eddie's twin cousins, formerly incarcerated and now custodians at his school, as well as teaching colleagues Nettie, a "Reverse Freedom Rider" from the South, and Taylor, a privileged ex-patriot of Grosse Point, Michigan. Eddie's favorite is Perry, a promising Cape Verdean student and athlete.
