Description

Johnny Yen is in way over his head. Following his true love—or at least, who he thought was his true love—to magical Antigua Guatemala, he walks right into a den of theives, con-artists and murderers. He doesn’t speak the language, doesn’t know a soul, and once his money disappears, he’s stuck there until the date on his return ticket. If he can live that long. Luckily, he has a few tricks up his sleeve, learnt during a dark past he’s trying to forget. Is this the moment the thirty-year-old boy finally becomes a man? Or another gringo in a shallow grave?
