In the 1980s-the decade of excess-Vinnie Hamilton is a former hippie and basketball star who lives in exile among the palm trees, pop music, and Reaganomics in Miami, Florida. Hamilton once rode through life on the high road, but now is a disgraced plumber. He's about to get a second chance, thanks to Mike Whitaker, his best friend and a successful businessman. Whitaker just purchased the Miami Fireballs basketball franchise, and he believes Hamilton will be a perfect coach for his new team. Hamilton takes him up on his offer and soon meets many interesting characters, including Sypha Nadon, the openly gay pop star. Nadon is one of the flashiest celebrities in America, but behind his glamorous facade lurks a troubled soul. He's haunted by his past, which could consume him when he least expects it. But Hamilton and Nadon, two polar opposites, might have more in common than they think. Will these two men find enlightenment in a decade where outside layers mean everything, and introspection no longer matters? Confusion will take you on an unforgettable adventure through the lives of a multigenerational group of characters who live life to the fullest.
