Phoebe Siegler first meets Charles Heist in a shabby trailer on the eastern edge of Los Angeles. She\'s looking for her friend\'s missing daughter, Arabella, and hires Heist - a laconic loner who keeps his pet opossum in a desk drawer - to help. The unlikely pair navigate the enclaves of desert-dwelling vagabonds and find that Arabella is in serious trouble - caught in the middle of a violent standoff that only Heist, mysteriously, can end. Phoebe\'s trip to the desert was always going to be strange, but it was never supposed to be dangerous...
