Description: Toiling away amid looming palm trees and decaying bungalows, a struggling young writer (who bears a strong resemblance to the author) spins fantastic stories from his fertile imagination upon his clacking typewriter. The nameless writer steadily crafts his literary efforts -- until strange occurrences start happening around him. Beginning with a series of peculiar phone calls, the writer then finds clumps of seaweed on his doorstep. But as the incidents escalate, his friends fall victim to a series of mysterious "accidents" -- some of them fatal. Aided by a reclusive actress of yesteryear with an intense hunger for life, and Elmo Crumley, a savvy, streetsmart detective, the wordsmith sets out to find the connection between the bizarre events, and in doing so, uncovers the truth about his own creative abilities.
