The year is 1929 and Bobot is just another immigrant worker in rural California. Or rather an immigrant worker with a law degree back home in the Philippines but reduced to manual labor in his newly adopted country. Bobot, like so many other young Filipinos, finds himself bunking in the fields picking grapes by day. When Bobot discovers that a cousin has spotted his wife in nearby San Francisco, he swipes a co-worker's favorite nightclub suit and heads to the big city to find her. What follows is a classic noir with seedy dives, mouthy pool sharks, and sexual obsession.
