Will Val's fourth stab at starting over add up to a big fat zero?Come along for the ride as Florida's crazy-ometer spins off the charts St. Pete Beach attracts weirdos like mosquitoes to a bug zapper.

Perpetually primed for disaster, starting over again won't be easy for Val. But she soon discovers that in the world of the down and out, friends (and enemies) can come from very unexpected places....
