With its smooth, sandy beach, the quiet coastal town of Pacific City, on the coast of Oregon's Tillamook County, is the perfect home for a unique group of boats. The Pacific City dory fleet has a proud history spanning more than 100 years. Nestled in the natural shelter provided by Cape Kiwanda, the fleet lives on today as one of the most interesting fishing fleets in the world. The small flat-bottomed boats dare the ocean as they crash through the surf headed for the plentiful waters of the Pacific. At day's end, they ride the waves back to shore and slide onto the beach. The original design of the dory allows it to launch from and land on the shore. Through the inherent dangers of ocean fishing, governmental restriction, international fishing competition, and, most recently, the influx of surfers and civilization, the dedicated fishermen have held on to tradition.

"Where I'm from, I had a posse. My girls would do anything I wanted - fight, have sex, get high, vomit to stay skinny. I told my best friend her butt was too big. She quit eating and went down to eighty pounds. Then she burned herself alive." This is the story of one runaway girl's attempt to reclaim the soul she lost to image advertising. Her heroic journey spans the country and her culture, from the glitzy malls of Dallas to an isolated fishing village, the story of a girl trying to go home, a place she's never been. She found herself in Pacific City.
