Kiss My Past

Aspiring film director Julian Waxman is pushing forty with nothing to show for himself. His single-minded obsession with restoring the failed 1980s horror film, "Grave Goods," for DVD, sets in motion a search to locate both the film's lost sequences and its forgotten star. In his attempts to unravel the mystery, he inadvertently exposes the buried dreams and family secrets of the people he encounters along the way. From the underworld of grubby film hoarders to an adult trailer park in the desert, this contemporary comic noir takes readers on a satirical ride through the streets of Southern California.
