Barney McGee, a retiree to South Florida, and his next door neighbor, Willey Pulaski, (who looks a lot like a garden gnome) and Willey's beer drinking monkey, Oscar (don't ask . . . ) are fighting to save their mobile home park from John Flaherty, a ruthless developer. When the Park's resident lawyer, Freddy, is murdered in the middle of the night, Willey thinks it was Flaherty's doing. Freddy was representing the park's efforts to stop the developer. Determined to save their homes, Barney and Willey break into Flaherty’s offices looking for evidence--with disastrous results.

Then Barney meets Eduardo, a young under cover FBI agent, and

Eduardo's strangely beautiful, gun toting, grandmother, Sofie. Barney is captivated by Sofie's dark Mediterranean eyes, and the way she fills out her jeans. Eduardo is investigating a Florida Senator who is rumored to be taking bribes from a developer . . . the same developer that wants to destroy Barney and Willey's mobile home park.

When they get a lead on Flaherty's right hand man, the information takes them to Caledesi Island. There they spy Flaherty’s boat, with Florida Senator Joshua Buckland aboard, cavorting with young girls. Now they know how Flaherty has been able to get whatever he wants.

But back home in the park, Barney, Willey and Oscar, are under fire. Barney discovers a bomb planted under his house, and a Molotov Cocktail is hurled at Willey’s house in the middle of the night.

With an assist from Eduardo, Barney, Willey, and Oscar, roam South Florida fighting the developer and his murderous minions, local corruption, and an ethically challenged, drug addled, United States Senator.

When they are seen photographing a bribe being handed to the Senator by the developer's lawyer, their lives are put into danger. They, and Oscar, flee into The Green Swamp, where they hide out in a chickee until discovered--and then to a tree house which meets its end in a hurricane.

Agent Eduardo rescues them and takes them to his grandmother Sofie's house, which she operates as a safe house for the FBI.

Determined to save their homes, they set off on a Quixotic mission to stop the developer any way they can . . .short of murder!
