In 1980s Florida, an aspiring filmmaker, obsessed with a B-movie scream queen, flees his family's Palm Beach mansion, teams up with an aging con man and his ambitious girlfriend, and heads to a film set in the Everglades, only to find himself mired in a swamp of competing cons and hustles.
"...Relentlessly clever plot... It's an antic, very Floridian tale, populated with larger-than-life characters and full of Carl Hiaasen-style dry humor and Elmore Leonard-style sharp descriptions. The characters all have penchants for funny one-liners, and a kind of zany logic binds their very strange separate worlds. Wilborn packs a lot of fun and human insight into a slim number of pages.
An irrepressible Florida frolic filled with lost dreams, forlorn love, and horror movie lore." - Kirkus, starred review
