Description

It wasn't murder. It wasn't suicide. It wasn't an accident. What happened? Living fast in California in the late 20th century, the fun never ends…until it does. Timo, Fernando, Rob and Mitch leave New Mexico for college in California to pursue their dreams. Timo, a world class athlete, brilliant scholar, proud Latino has a shot at fortune, fame and fabulous women. The investigation was inconclusive. Confident, beautiful Fernando, with playmates and princesses falling for him, chases his dream in Napa Valley. No one foresaw what really went down. Tall, nervous Rob became the pot boss of Santa Barbara, a Buddhist priest, a successful artist. He vows to not make the same mistakes on the outside that got his cellmate arrested again. The nurse said it wasn't a disease. Mitch, entangled in affairs and fired from a fabulous job, tells the story of how it all went so wrong for his beloved friends.
