Joe Vesper is a street smart survivor from Seattle who finally made his nut and got out. He relocated to the sleepy boardwalk town of Veil, CA and things started going his way. He finally bought the old house, the laid back book cafe and even the girl of his dreams had come within reach. But what Joe didn't know was why. Someone had been spying on his dreams and helped him achieve those goals. In return, all the stranger wants is to use Joe as a pawn in a 100 year old turf war between a silent film director and lumber baron both of which have been long dead.
