Boone Daniels, the most laid-back of private investigators, gathers with his Dawn Patrol buddies on Pacific Beach, California as per usual. There's no surf to speak of, but Boone sticks around for the second shift on the daily surfing clock - the Gentlemen's Hour, frequented by the older veteranos and successful entrepreneurs - and ends up taking on a dreaded matrimonial case. But that soon becomes the least of his worries. When the Sundowner, symbolic icon of the San Diego surf scene, sees a dispute between a young surfer from Oahu's North Shore and a member of the territorial Rockpile Crew - a dispute that ends in murder - the painful truth that violence is seeping into the surf community can no longer be ignored. So when lawyer Petra Hall, who has a thing with Boone, asks him to help the defence on that particular case, Boone knows he'll be courting outrage from the community and from the rest of the Dawn Patrol. As his closest friendships begin to fray, and he delves into the murkier side of surfing culture, Boone sees his two cases overlap in unexpected ways, and finds himself in deeper and deeper water.
