Hank Moody Californication

Life has been a rocky road of ups and downs for famed novelist and NYC transplant Hank Moody since he relocated to Los Angeles. He suffered through a terrible case of writer’s block, a crappy Hollywood adaptation of his prized tome, the death of the rock star whose memoirs he was writing, and a single, tumultuous term as college professor, where the temptations of faculty, students and the dean’s wife proved too much for him.

But when the truth comes out that he is the real author of former underage flame Mia’s scandalous book, it not only upends his home life, it lands him in jail. It may sound desperate, but Hank enjoys his life and owns all his vices – drink, drugs and women – with a refreshing sense of honesty and unapologetic candor. He’s holding it together while falling apart, and he doesn’t mind one bit.
