A high-level Federal narc, on a renegade drug bust near the Mexican border in 1975, comes up empty-handed and in serious trouble with his superiors. Timothy Vorovich, aging, embittered, resigns from the DEA and sets out to solve the case on his own terms. His quest takes him first to a strange Northern California Shangri-La peopled by psychedelic-loving flower children, then to the fabled Gold Coast of San Francisco to the house of the most powerful drug lord on the West Coast. His guide: a beguiling and beautiful young drug mule whose instant affection and overwhelming passion Vorovich can't help but suspect, even as he finds himself falling deeper under her spell. From the gritty underbelly of the LA drug scene to the poppy fields of the near East, Vorovich is subjected to tests of both his will and his character. Have the temptations of big money and disillusionment with "the system" finally lured him to the other side? Or is he playing a double game? Or, does Vorovich really know any longer which side he's really on?
