Paddy Puzo didn't want to get involved in civil rights and American revisionary politics, but a bizarre midnight taxi ride in the most dangerous part of Los Angeles abruptly catapults him into the wild and unpredictable world of Minorities, Inc.

After barely surviving his involuntary entry into the more hazardous side of civil rights, Puzo's dysfunctional adventures take him to Washington, D.C., and subsequently, to a Pacific island aptly referred to as The Island of Thieves, where his continuing confrontations with racial enlightenment finally lead him to hiding from the CIA while working at a remote and dilapidated pig farm somewhere in the Philippines.
