In the fall of 1970, Lou Reed walked away from rock and roll. He left the Velvet Underground, and New York City, returning to Long Island. He moved in with his parents and got a job as a typist at his father's accounting firm. He told friends his career in music was over. Vicious takes an imagined look at what happened to Reed after he quit his band, and before the successful solo career that began in 1971. The story follows Reed as he finds himself drawn into a strange case at his dad's office. Someone's trying to claim the possessions of a dead man. One item draws Reed's attention: a painting by Andy Warhol, given to the murder victim by the artist himself. Reed resolves to get to the bottom of the mystery, only to discover that he-and his songs-are somehow at the center. From the country clubs of Long Island and the Factory scene of Manhattan, to the haunted corridors of Creedmoor State Psychiatric Hospital and the gritty Lower East Side, Vicious is a wholly original and loving look at a little known period in the life of a legend.
