For ex-con and pool cleaning man Jess Forsyth, life is a California rhythm of surf, work, tacos, and drink. He's gone straight, and he's happy with that...sort of. When he runs into an old pal, Jess finds himself taking money (and pride) from a well-heeled drug dealer. But things get twisted. On the journey that follows, Jess discovers you can't escape what you are, especially when there's cash for the taking. There are three kinds of fool in this life-the lost, the guilty, and the dead. But who the heck is who?
