People came to Huntington Beach in search of the endless party, the ultimate high and the perfect wave.
Ike Tucker came to look for his sister and for the three men who may have murdered her.
In that place of gilded surfers and sun-bleached blondes, Ike looked into the shadows and found parties that drifted towards pointless violence, joyless violations and highs you might never come down from... and a sea of old hatreds and dreams gone bad.
Atmospheric, lyrical, and suspenseful, Tapping The Source blends mystery, coming-of-age drama, and psychological tension into a haunting portrait of lost innocence and the seductive pull of violence.
