Esta es la Florida de Carl Hiaasen, ¡donde las criaturas son salvajes y la gente todavía más! Te das cuenta de que va a ser un verano difícil cuando pasas el Día del Padre visitando a tu papá en la cárcel. El padre de Noah está seguro de que el dueño del barco-casino Coral Queen está tirando desperdicios en las aguas del puerto, lo que ha hecho que darse un chapuzón en la playa local sea igual que nadar en un inodoro.
