Summary:
Since coming back from the
Gulf War, Jim Davis hasn't been able to get his life back on track. He still
feels the residue of that far off desert on his skin, still screams in his sleep
from visions he just can't shake. He has burned through his savings waiting for
an offer from the L.A.P.D. that hasn't come. He tells himself that if he only
had a job, everything would turn around--he could marry his devoted Mexican
girlfriend, Marta, bring her back to the States and settle down. But until
something else materializes for Jim--some other way to help his country and not
die of boredom at some desk--he'll just chill with his best friend, Mike, also
unemployed. And Mike's longtime girlfriend, Sylvia, whom Mike helped put through
law school, wants an equal, not a dependent, so he too finds himself on the job
hunt. Jim offers to help Mike find a job, but instead they end up cutting a
swath of chaos through the mean streets of South Central, looking for
trouble--just like when they were kids. In a misguided quest to get their lives
together they joyride, get high, plan for their glorious future and start
trouble wherever they land. After the L.A.P.D. job evaporates and Jim gets a
call from the much more complicated foreign office of Homeland Security, Jim and
Mike's misadventures take on a darker edge, one haunted by violence and the
echoes of combat Jim can't seem to shake. They no longer need to look for
trouble--it's everywhere around them. As the city that was once their playground
now seems to press in on them, each choice Jim and Mike make will not only test
their loyalty to each other, but their ability to survive the mean streets they
hope to leave behind.
