Description: James Kirkridge was a middle-aged insurance salesman who was experiencing a gradual reversal in finances, so much that he and his wife Kiki had to put their rambling, palatial house in the suburbs up for sale, and downsize. Jesus "Jessie" Rodriguez, a native of the Los Angeles barrio, had recently become successful as the owner of a landscaping business, enabling him and his wife Maria to trade up to a more upscale neighborhood.
