It’s 2003, and twenty-something American expat Christine is living the life down in the Yucatan. Hot sand, warm sea, cool people - and a long, wild summer of drug-fueled clubbing. But then things turn ugly and she becomes desperate for a way out.

She agrees to return with him to his isolated community in the highlands - which means that when their marriage goes bad, she has nowhere left to run.
