A 15-year old surfer strikes his father, thinking he has killed him. With only a surfboard and a backpack he hitchhikes south, into Baja. There, a family of commercial fishermen adopts him. Eventually he smuggles himself back into the U.S. expecting to face murder charges. For everyone that finds Baja hell on earth, someone else considers it the worlds last paradise. For surfers its a great place to find lonely and perfect waves. For sinners its a good place to become a saint. For saints, its a convenient place to become a sinner. While the unlucky can lose their wallets, their health and their sanity in 24 hours or less, the chosen ones part only with things not worth keeping. Baja is a bad place for some, a good place for others and the only place for a young surfer in big trouble. When 15-year old surfer Tommy Stern retaliates against his alcoholic fathers violent attack, he thinks he has killed the man. In response to his crime the boy grabs his surfboard and hitchhikes south, all the way into Baja. Once there a family of commercial fishermen adopts him. He surfs perfect, empty waves while learning the ways of a caring family and the art of fishing. After five years his conscience disturbs him and he smuggles himself back into the U.S. where he expects to face murder charges. What he finds upon his return, however, alters his life forever.
