From Paul Thomas Anderson and Thomas Pynchon, it's the tail of the psychedelic 60s and paranoia is running the day from the desert to the sea of sunny Southern California.  With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, the FBI, LAPD detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover, a group of Beverly Hills dentists and a mysterious entity called The Golden Fang, everything's gone from "groovy" to "Where you at man?" in what seems like a matter of moments.  

So when private eye Doc Sportello's ex=old lady Shasta Fay shows up at his door with a story about her current billionaire land-developer boyfriend and his wife and her boyfriend...well it all starts to get a little peculiar after that.  Maybe you will just want to see the movie?
