Graham Young lives a comfortable, gin-soaked existence in Jakarta, even after violent riots overthrow Soehartos regime. But a meeting with a reptilian ex-pat hurls him into a nightmare from which there seems no escape. Hounded by the police, courted by shadowy figures of political resistance, and visited in the night by military ghouls, he sees no choice but to flee. Can he get out of the country before these forces move in for the kill?

Life is fab for gay white men on the beaches of Bali, where a beer or a boy is never far away. At the heart of Kuta's gay scene stands Klub Aloha, where Jack and his troupe of aging western queens perform tacky drag each week. But the arrival of a strange and secretive tourist, and news about the murder of one of the local moneyboys, shakes their complacent existence to its roots.

After eight years of sunshine, sand, and sex, and the constant flow of alcohol, Jack grows weary of paradise, and his circle of friends also finds that their lives are transformed forever.
