It's dawn in Pacific Beach California as Boone Daniels, a laid-back private investigator, straddles his surf board. With him are his buddies - High Tide, a seriously big Samoan, Dave the Life Guard and Johnny Banzai, a San Diego homicide detective. Then there's Sunny - tall, blond, a real California girl. She's also the best surfer of the lot, and has history with Boone. A huge Pacific storm is coming, bringing with it once-in-a-lifetime waves. So when Boone takes a case involving one dead and one missing stripper, he's determined to wrap it up in time for the epic surf. But all sorts of trouble follows.
