Frank Machianno is the guy, a late-middle-aged ex-surf bum who runs a bait shack on the San Diego waterfront. That''s when he''s not juggling any of his other three part-time jobs or trying to get a quick set in on his long board.

The problem is that the list of candidates is about the size of his local phone book and Frank''s rapidly running out of time...
