In 1992 James Flynn lands a bottom-rung job at Commodore Pictures, a notorious grindhouse studio that launched the careers of countless Hollywood legends in the 60s and the 70s. A chemically-enhanced epiphany during the riots convinces Flynn that success depends on befriending Gordon Luker, Commodore's visionary founder and industry rebel, who has reportedly gone insane and become a virtual recluse. Flynn's quest for Luker leads him through an increasingly surreal landscape filled with natural disasters, an historic murder trial, several relationships, and a host of unforgettable characters ranging from the super-famous to society's outcasts. As Flynn closes in on Luker, he begins to understand what really called him West in the first place.
