Description
It was a dark and stormy psychotic episode… A homage to legendary singer-songwriter Tom Waits' vaudeville musical "Frank's Wild Years", The Frank Principle tells the story of Jacob Koromaus, a beautiful freak who moves to San Francisco to become an accordion rock star. Once there, he goes to earth in a flophouse south of Market, the St. Christopher Hotel. The St. Christopher is owned by the Japanese organized crime syndicate, run by a pimp from Calcutta, and clerked at night by Pogue Mahone, your humble on-again, off-again narrator on the run from his own checkered past in Ireland. Frank's music brightens the lives of Pogue and the other junkies, hookers and ne'er-do-wells' living at the St. Christopher in the summer of 1999, and foments a story that must be seen to be believed.
