With time running out, Jack must find a way out of his debt or else be doomed to eternal damnation and servitude in the afterlife.

In the near future in Suburban Orange County, California, America’s endless and futile war on drugs has become one and the same with its war on terror. Reluctant undercover cop Bob Arctor follows orders to start spying on his friends, Jim Barris, Ernie Luckman, Donna Hawthorne and Charles Freck. When he is directed to step up the surveillance on himself, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode.
