 Gustavo, well dressed in a Buenos Aires office and gunning for a promotion, gets a briefcase full of cash from his boss to use in shutting down a mine in remote San Juan province. Everything seems to go wrong: no one meets him at the provincial airport; he gets bad directions, leaves cell-phone range, and runs out of gas at a roadhouse near the border where a few drug runners may be waiting for product. He s stuck there for a few days before the gas truck arrives. There he meets Mariel, who s with an older man, one of the drug dealers. His first approach to her to boorish, but something about him attracts her. Will he, his money, or his desire survive?
