description: Meet Stan Sloan...Spent a few tours working for the U.S. Army in Korea, home to scores of GI camp towns providing those basic amenities, ranging from sleazy bars, easy women, leather shoes to handbags.Battered survivor of a failed marriage and predatory divorce lawyers, Stan's only problems now are the politics within the Army's Third Signal Brigade headquartered in Seoul. But this problem is minor compared to those which will soon engulf him when his Korean American friend talks him into a partnership.Together with his friend and his friend's Bible-thumping in-laws as partners, Stan buys an overpriced vacant lot in Hawaii, just as the Japanese Bubble Economy is about to explode in his face. With land values crashing, and the land deal falling apart at the seams, Stan invites more turmoil into his life by trying to help a young bar girl seeking refuge from her mamasan.Now as the girl is abducted and he faces losing everything in that land deal, he must make a terrible choice. Will he choose to save the girl, or instead, will he choose to save the lot?
