In the late 1970s Jake Libbon was fresh out of high school and headed off to Mexico in search of adventure and excitement. He got both – but not in quite the way he anticipated. Funding his stay by selling marijuana to tourists, he unwisely attempted a deal too far when he agreed to supply another American with a few kilos of the drug. A resulting drug bust would see him witness two policemen shot at close range. Fleeing the scene, Jake is shot by police in the leg. After three days holed up in a friends house he made a doomed escape attempt disguised as a woman before falling into the clutches of the towns police, who soon make it clear they expect him to confess to a shooting crime he didnt commit.
