Floundering

John (James LeGros) lives in beautiful Venice Beach, but finds little to appreciate in his surroundings. His life is full of bizarre friends, sweaty sex, pistol-welding gangsters, bungling bureaucrats, police fanatics, revolutionaries and weirdos. All John wants is a little peace of mind and a little piece of the action, but it doesn't seem to come easily. What will it take to make him turn his life around and seek a more meaningful existence?
