Dr. Benjamin Weed is not having a good year. The well-known surgeon is fighting a vicious lawsuit filed against him by aging socialite Gertrude Hileman, a failed actress and successful alcoholic.

Heir to a multimillion-dollar mustard empire and owner of a spoiled lapdog, Hileman blames Weed for two unsightly facial scars. Weed suspects the lawsuit has more to do with his offensive behavior the night he treated Hileman, but whatever motivates his opponent, her lawsuit could ruin Weed professionally, financially, and socially—if he doesn’t ruin himself first.

Witnessing a shooting at a seedy local strip club doesn’t help Weed’s case—not because he was at the club, but because he’s romantically involved with a stripper half his age. He's also dealing with a psychotic biker, a domineering mother, and a judgmental marriage counselor. So when one drunken night Weed decides to kidnap Hileman’s much-loved dog, he doesn’t see how his situation can get worse—until he sobers up and realizes he’s the prime suspect in a dognapping case.

Darkly humorous, Oceans Rising examines the consequences of crossing the wrong woman while struggling to hold onto some shred of control and dignity.
