Beschreibung
For fans of Tod Goldberg's Gangster Trilogy and Tim O'Brien's America Fantastica, this contemporary noir follows a burned-out tech entrepreneur into the Wild West of California cannabis and the converging worlds of contraband weed and illegal immigration. It's October 2019 and Andrew Eastman, a tech entrepreneur with a bank account running on fumes, has just ridden into Adelanto, a desolate outpost in the Mojave Desert, to help an old friend. The ask: turn around a fledgling legal cannabis operation. Andrew, the outsider, asks too many questions--about the viability of the legal market, the inoperative surveillance cameras in the factory, and the dominance of the illegal trade--and makes himself a target. Undeterred, he journeys from Adelanto to West Hollywood to the underbelly of Los Angeles on a hunt for contraband. When he lands at the intersection of cannabis and immigration, and as bodies pile up around him, he is left with one last decision--one that will forever change him.
