Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Jamie Farmer had the perfect mother. She had the perfect face, body, and hair. How did he know? She told him so. On the night Ole Mr. Humboldt shot her, a perfect pink dot appeared between her perfect eyes. After witnessing her death, Jamie stepped outside to wait for the cavalry and smoke a joint. It was 1978, but in Milledgeville, Ga., it was still 1958. Everybody in town believed that all drugs were the same, from Marijuana to heroin, and Jamie believed it too. All that meant was he needed to smoke another joint to forget about the joint he had just smoked. Jamie walked out of a house he would never enter again, into a world he still didn't understand.

Jamie had a hole in his soul, and the pot barely kept it under control. His mother had one too, and he had spent his childhood watching her whore around, constantly searching for scraps of love. Alone and nowhere to go, with no one to care, he was railroaded into the Marines by the local sheriff. What follows is a whirlwind dance with the Grim Reaper, fueled by ever-increasing amounts of drugs and alcohol. See if you can keep up with Jamie and his friends as they travel Asia for two years. They keep pushing boundaries and breaking rules as they live the sex, drugs, and rock n roll lifestyle. All of them are racing toward their own date with the Reaper. None of them care. He watches friends overdose, and others die. They're all cheating Grim and trippin' down the Reaper's road.
