The Orange County, California, that the Becker brothers
knew as boys is no more -- unrecognizably altered since the
afternoon in 1954 when Nick, Clay, David, and Andy rumbled
with the lowlife Vonns, while five-year-old Janelle Vonn
watched from the sidelines. The new decade has brought about
the end of the orange groves and the birth of suburban
sprawl. It is the era of Johnson, hippies, John Birchers,
and LSD. Clay becomes a casualty of a far-off jungle war.
Nick becomes a cop, Andy a reporter, David a minister. And
the decapitated corpse of teenage beauty queen Janelle Vonn
is discovered in an abandoned warehouse.
A hideous crime has touched the Beckers in ways that none of
them could have anticipated, setting three brothers on a
dangerous collision course that will change their family --
and their world -- forever.
And no one will emerge from the wreckage unscathed.
