It stars Jeremy Strong in his film debut, Fairuza Balk, Frances Conroy, Madison Davenport, Brad Dourif, Chris Messina and Peter Bogdanovich.

He then meets up with the actress who played the part of his patient in his final exam, the free-spirited part-time jazz singer Bogart.

After an uncomfortable night in which Peter finds out that they are all involved in growing pot, he finally manages to go to sleep.

Stranded and unwilling to call his father for help, Peter's only choice is to take the bus, which won't come for another day.

After a day of working on some irrigation problems, they relax back at Jack and Rosie's house.

He quickly falls in love with the natural surroundings and the residents of the rural community and stops trying to leave.

He begins to understand empathy and love (the thing he previously lacked, which caused him to fail his final exam in the first place).

His sudden fear that he would never leave is further solidified by a conversation that he has with Bob and Steve in a bar later that night.

Steve explains that almost everyone who lives in Humboldt County now came from somewhere else and never left, including Rosie and Jack (who used to be a Physics professor at UCLA).

He also reveals that he was in Peter's shoes a few years earlier; he was a student at Stanford and followed a girl out to Humboldt county and never left.

While he and Steve argue about whether or not he's actually going to confront them, Peter drunkenly walks over and starts accusing the men and admonishing them for their cowardice.

At first, Peter is hesitant to answer, so Jack takes him out on a nature walk and explains to him the dangers of having more than a few plants.

He warns Peter against letting greed run his life, because doing so destroys the entire reason they came out to the lost coast in the first place; to find salvation.

Peter is interrogated about Max's purchase history which includes fertilizer and water tubing, but he says nothing and they are let go due to a lack of any solid evidence against them.

Jack angrily storms off and Rosie begins to tell Peter about Max's real father.

Jack, Rosie and her then-husband, Charlie were all friends when they worked as professors at UCLA and they decided to move to Humboldt County together.

However, eventually Charlie, who had been a long time alcoholic and drinking buddy of Jack's, died in a car accident while on LSD.

He then sees Bob and Steve speeding down the road in the opposite direction, followed by Max and then by a federal helicopter.

The scene then cuts to the next day when a sheriff shows up at Jack and Rosie's and informs them that Max is dead.
