Noah Braddock is just living from wave to wave, catching a nice break from his private eye business. So when Peter Pluto asks Noah to look for his missing younger brother, Linc, Noah takes the case reluctantly-and quickly finds out that Linc is not your average undergrad.

Aided by his friend Carter and a beautiful Rastafarian coed, Noah discovers that Linc stole some money from a white supremacist group. The skinheads will stop at nothing to find Linc-and when Noah wakes up at the bottom of a canyon, beaten and bruised, with a corpse lying next to him, he realizes he's next on their list...and in for the ride of his life.
