As the movie opens, Kowalski is near the end of his chase by the California Highway Patrol, where two bulldozers and a CBS News truck are setting up. Vera appears to be Kowalski's great love, and her death while surfing appears to be a major factor in Kowalski's alienation and resignation to death in the film. Vera offers Kowalski marijuana, and comments on his war wound. He flashes back to a girlfriend, first in a snow-covered landscape, then at the California shore. He seemingly gave up his automobile and motorcycle racing careers after two near-fatal accidents.
