Punch and Juliette make a pack to live a wild life in Key West for a year, creating scenes to use in his novel, with the climax a legendary suicide during Fantasy Fest.
But the money runs out early, and their escapades, such as the break-in at Hemingway House and robbing gourmet restaurants for carry-outs, take a serious turn.
Bohemian atmosphere, a sex-maniac Yorkie, and a Key West witch add magic to the romp as the young woman and her alcoholic African-American-Italian boyfriend try to outs.
