Martin Anderson has a racehorse, a deep-sea fishing boat, a acation home in Tahoe, and a Caddy in the garage. But his life is in freefall. It's the 1970's, and with the arrival of the oil crisis and gas rationing, his small aircraft business is tanking, as is his etravagant suburban lifestyle. Martin kepps many secrets from his wife, from his mounting dept to his penchant for sneaking into neighborhood homes and making of with small keepsakes. So when he's given the opportunity to clear his debt by using one of his planes to make a few drug runs between California and Mexico, Martin accepts the offer... only to find that his troubles have just begun.

Smart, suspenseful, and funny, David Antony's debut is a perfect snapshot of America's misguided pursuit of happiness - then, and now.
