Short description

Dean and his dog Kota live on the Jersey Shore and life's a beach. Except it's been a freezing cold October and somebody's killing kids with drugs and nobody seems to want to do anything about it. On the bright side, there's Gloria, who looks like a movie star and who's so cool and actually gets Dean. But Dean was born under a bad sign and trouble follows wherever he goes. Luckily, so does Kota.

Dean McCarthy was born under a bad sign and trouble follows him wherever he goes. To begin with, his father was drunk when he crashed the car and fractured Dean's skull, leaving his son with the occasional brain seizure.

Life should be good on the Jersey shore, but it's October and it's freezing cold and somebody's killing the town's kids with drugs. On the bright side, there's Gloria, a girl who looks like a movie star and is so cool and who actually gets Dean and Kota. And after all, the beach is still the beach, right? But Dean was born under a bad sign and he finds trouble wherever he goes. Dean has to watch while a young student chokes out his life on the dirty floor of the high school toilet. So naturally he decides to poke around and find out who's behind the town's drug trade. If you're going to pick a fight with drug dealing killers, it helps to have somebody to watch your back, somebody like Kota, a huge white guardian and fierce defender. So trouble may follow Dean wherever he goes, but, luckily, so does Kota.
