Paul rooms with Sala, an aging and equally alcoholic reporter, in a rundown flat. Sanderson, a wealthy entrepreneur, hires Paul to flack for a group of investors who plan to buy an island near the capital and build a resort. Sanderson's girl-friend, the beguiling Chenault, bats her eyes at Paul. His loyalties face challenges when he and Sala get in trouble with locals, when a Carnival dance enrages Sanderson, and when the paper hits the skids. Is the solution always alcohol?

Quotes:

[from trailer]::Paul Kemp: We'll nail this bastard to his own front door.

[from trailer]::Paul Kemp: I thought maybe you were a mermaid.::Chenault: I'm from Connecticut.

Paul Kemp: Oscar Wilde once said, "Nowadays, people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing."

Paul Kemp: [Kemp and Sala are wandering down a pier late at night, high on hallucinogens] I thought I was losing grip in there. What did we take?::Sala: I don't know.::Paul Kemp: We need to get some more. [Kemp stops to stare at a tank full of lobsters] [quietly] That explains it... doesn't it?::Sala: Explains what?::Paul Kemp: The world... and us. [he stares deep into the eyes of one particular lobster] [voiceover] I wonder what it is you might think about our different worlds. He looked at me kinda sideways and said, "Human beings are the only creatures on Earth who claim a God, and the only living thing that behaves like it hasn't got one. Does the world belong to no one but you?" And when he said it, I was taken aback. Not because of who was doing the talking. Because I finally understood the connection between children scavenging for food, and shiny brass plates on the front doors of banks.

Lotterman: How does anyone drink 161 miniatures?::Paul Kemp: Are they not complimentary?

Paul Kemp: What's your name?::Chenault: Let's keep that a secret.::Paul Kemp: But I don't even know it.::Chenault: Then you'll keep it even better.

Paul Kemp: Why did she have to happen? Just when I was doing so good without her.

Paul Kemp: I thought you said you had a TV.::Sala: No, the guy across the alley has a TV. I have binoculars.

Moburg: [to Lotterman] Why don't you go die a slow and agonizingly painful death?

Paul Kemp: Your tongue is like an accusatory giblet!
