  Teddy Lint is the kindest private investigator on the planet, committed to seeing the best in everyone he meets. The detective agency he runs out of a Los Angeles strip mall with his brother Ralph has seen a strange case or two before, but never anything like this. A man claiming to work for the CIA hires the Lints to find a shipping container of radioactive Agent Orange that vanished over fifty years ago. He insists someone is planning on using an army of drones to drench L.A. with the deadly chemicals before the week is out. 
  The Lint Brothers enter a maze of bizarre suspects, from nefarious ad executives, to anarchistic Boy Scouts, to a toga-clad militia fighting for exclusive rule by women. The propaganda-obsessed society that seems to be running the world is probably worth looking into as well. The power of empathy collides with the dangers of disinformation as Teddy fights to save the people he loves. Our beloved detective doesn't give up easily, but any Angelenos with an aversion to death by herbicide might want to dust off that umbrella, just in case . . .

  A road trip, a misguided girl with dangerous habits, and a target on the loose. One trip to Vegas can change it all for two people on opposite sides of the spectrum. 
  Aalyah "Lyah" Artisan is your typical wild child. Running away from home with no form of ambition or sense of direction, she tends to follow no rules but her own as a cunning petty thief. On her latest attempt, she finds herself in a bit of a jam when she’s left facing the barrel of a gun for robbing the wrong target. While on the run, Lyah faces tough decisions as she battles her emotions and the consequences of her actions. 
  Picture-perfect Keith Hayden has only one thing on his mind—stopping his ex-girlfriend Tally from getting married. The problem is he’s on a time limit, and he needs to get to her—fast. Way across the country, Keith decides to throw caution to the wind and embark on what was supposed to be a solo journey to show Tally that she is making the biggest mistake of her life in Vegas. But his plan doesn’t fall into place when forced to take Lyah on his expedition after their unfortunate meeting. 
  As they knock heads, the two must overcome their differences to get to the other side of the country in time before it’s too late for them both. And they can’t do it alone.

  After 10 years of professional driving, a taxi driver invites you into his cab to hear all the interesting, salacious, and humorous things that went on and were said. “I’ve seen more shit than most people see in a lifetime,” one young homeless man commented, proud of such a distinguished accomplishment.
