In HE the unnamed protagonist, a law student, is involved with a series of women who either loathe him, save his life or exploit him sexually. The first is the nanny of his ex boss' son. She sends him a hateful letter, enclosing a pubic hair and rubbed with pheromones. After observing a woman in a coffee shop whose breasts are 'freaks of nature' she leaves a briefcase and departs. He's unsuccessful in returning it to her, but this karmic event exposes him to a bevy of dangerous and seductive paramours.
