Maloney did not take his three visitors at face value. He knew from experience that the Ozarks draw many people for reasons other than the appreciation of nature. The area along the Missouri-Arkansas line has been home to privacy seekers ranging from well-armed isolationist groups to prosperous marijuana farmers. Maloney said, "I asked them the question, 'Were they looking for a place to hide,' and they didn't respond to that." The trio left the same day and never came back...
...result, hides out at his father's house in Los Angeles and does halfhearted research at the UCLA library for a novel he's pretty sure he will never write. By chance he meets Eric, an attractive undergraduate, who invites him to his apartment to share some marijuana. Hoping for sex, Leavitt learns that the seductive Eric has a more complex transaction in mind: sex there will be, once the author has ghostwritten Eric's English term paper, and once that term paper has earned Eric an A.

The beach dwellers fish, steal a little marijuana from an illicit plantation and work on their tans. Eventually, perhaps because everyone has read Lord of the Flies, things fall apart nastily. But even this calamity, which involves blood and dead people (the pot growers lose patience), does not touch the survivors. They grab sandals and rucksacks and move on. Richard reports all this a year later from London, where he is tethered...
