“…ripped-from-the-headlines drama… The prose style is spare and powerful and the pages turn effortlessly.” —Publishers Weekly

At Point Dume in Malibu, Ellis Gardner was surfing the waves long before the super-rich descended. Ellis isn’t interested in making friends with the fancy newcomers—but that doesn’t stop her from having an affair with ultra-spoiled Frank. Meanwhile, Frank’s wife, Janice, is bored. Smoking weed from morning to night is Janice’s way of coping with her isolated lifestyle and self-absorbed husband.

Like Janice, many don’t even realize that the marijuana on the market is mostly grown in their own backyards. Men like Felix tend to pot fields run by Mexican drug rings, risking their lives in exchange for the promise of a better future. But when a natural disaster threatens everyone’s livelihood, their paths collide.
