Stuck in a dead-end town on the fringe of the Bay Area, sixteen-year-old Deep Singh yearns for escape. His parents are driving him crazy. His brother—a formerly charismatic and brilliant boy—may actually be crazy. As Deep falls into an affair with a married woman, starts drinking, and generally acts out, a tragicomedy unfolds against a backdrop of strip malls, apartment complexes, and dusty roads in 1980s California.
