Terminally ill Lawson Banks cashes in his life insurance and moves to Thailand to spend the final years of his life in paradise, but instead must figure out who is trying to kill him.
Viatication, or the trading of death futures, is a dirty business. Lawson Banks sells his life insurance benefit to the highest bidder and now an investor is waiting for him to die. But, thanks to the pleasures of Buddha Beach and a healing romance with a stunning, but misunderstood Thai woman, he lives longer than expected. Much longer.
The cast: a Hollywood pariah, a vicious American lawyer, a devoted bargirl named Benz, a slew of dead bodies. At the top of the character food chain is a crippled Thai Police Colonel trying to save a degenerating, criminal empire.
Through a medicated haze of rare drugs and gunshots, Lawson Banks must untangle his past and atone for his future.
