Frank Machianno is the guy, a late-middle-aged ex-surf bum who runs a bait shack
on the San Diego waterfront. That's when he's not juggling any of his other thr
ee part-time jobs or trying to get a quick set in on his long board. He's a belo
ved fixture of the community, a stand-up businessman, a devoted father to his da
ughter.
Frank's also a hit man. Well, a retired hit man. Back in the day, whe
n he was one of the most feared members of the West Coast mob, he was known as F
rankie Machine.
