Watson Sinclair has only been in New York for a couple of hours and already he's had a small accident in his car involving some distracting cleavage and an inconveniently-placed fruit stand. His best friend JC Dubois is a few blocks away kidnapping the editor of the Royal Features Syndicate. Watson has to pick them up and get back across the Canadian border safely with their prisoner. It didn't have to be this way. Watson and JC always wanted to be cartoonists for the daily papers. Their dreams came true when they received a syndication contract for their comic strip. But then months went by and legendary editor Ray Bennett stopped returning their calls. They were faced with a choice: give up and go back to their day jobs or consider drastic measures to get the job done. Like kidnapping Ray and taking over the launch of the strip themselves. The plan is simple: drive to New York to take Ray and his laptop back to London. Give orders to Ray's prick of an Assistant Editor. Keep Ray quiet and secure, convince his staff that he is working from home, and keep all this from their wives. They've got one week. If they pull this off and execute a successful launch, their dreams are back on track. If they screw it up and get caught, they go to jail. Nothing like a little motivation.

1971, it was the summer of drugs. In a small semi rural town called Sunland/Tujunga Merril Graves discovers life through hallucinogenics and the horrors of the mind....

A girl, desperate for release, finds comfort in a "just-for-fun" drag racing gang, until the "fun" turns into competition among friends & things get out of control.

Mckenzie drags me along to the races with her most times. Tonight she made me drive because she went with her boyfriend and his gang. I shouldn't have gone. I should have stayed home, in my comfortable room with Netflix and pizza. The things I do for my BBF. It wasn't that I showed up, it was what I showed up in and WHO saw me come. There is no chance to slow down, not now, now that i am stuck in 5th gear. This is a racing story, with loads of cliches. God is mentioned, if that offends you, please feel free not to read.
