"We all bend the truth from time to time."

It's 2007 in idyllic Costa Rica, and 24-year-old Daniel is carefree while surfing, falling in love, and getting high on the beach with friends. But reality crushes him like a tidal wave when he returns home to Hawaii. Ten years go by, and buried family secrets, questionable decisions, and memories of a girl he never stopped loving would change him forever.

Deeper and Darker...
Restless with his life in Hawaii, Daniel moves to the mainland and delves into the shadowy world of the filthy rich, catering to their whims for money. But his cool, smart, and practical exterior starts to crumble under the weight of his clients' ugly secrets, though he is most wounded by his own secret shame.
