About

Turk Henry is an overweight, beer-swilling rock star married to a supermodel and rich beyond his wildest dreams. Right now his pampered paunch is plopped on the beach in Phuket, the last place a recovering sex addict should go on vacation, surrounded by topless groupies and luscious bar girls. But Turk's struggles with monogamy pale beside a greater challenge when his wife is abducted by a group of renegade Thai pirates.

The US government won't help, and the law forbids Turk from paying the ransom. His life skills limited to playing bass and partying, Turk must now navigate the back alleys of Bangkok and the deadly jungles of Southeast Asia to save his wife-and he's sweating bullets every step of the way.
