Jack Liffey's new girlfriend, Gloria Ramirez, a police sergeant of Paiute-Latino heritage, convinces him to look into the disappearance of her beautiful eighteen-year-old niece Luisa, who vanished from her tiny reservation in the Owens Valley. To escape abuse, Luisa threatened to run away to L.A.'s porn industry, and in fact she becomes caught up in the equally seamy phone sex business, then hostessing, and finally in the trashy business of videotaping the homeless performing wildly dangerous stunts for cash.
Luisa is fought over by a motley band of low-lifes, crooks, and would-be rescuers, including the Jamaican Trevor "Terror" Pennycooke, whom Jack knows from an earlier case. The hunt for Luisa - equal parts sordid and screwball - reaches its zenith in the Malibu Hills, where a bumbling army of suitors and rescuers touch off a gun battle and a dangerous firestorm that sweeps Jack and everyone else ahead of it screaming down the Malibu hills straight toward the Pacific ocean.
