Madrinega, Ccntral America, 1983: Amid a raging guerilla insurgency intent on toppling the regime of repressive dictator Eduardo Vilar, Leighton, an American agent, goes undercover as a freelance journalist to infiltrate the guerilla movement and learn the location of four cruise missiles they seized in a recent raid on a military base. Arrested and tortured by the Secret Police for his reporting on the government’s prosecution of the war, he is released only to be given an ultimatum: Leave the country or be “disappeared.” The guerillas intervene, spiriting him away to their jungle base where he meets Zorrita, their attractive, charismatic leader. Determined to use Leighton to sway American public opinion, she sets out to educate and seduce him into advocating for the guerillas’ cause, as Leighton contrives to build her trust and learn the missiles’ location. But his loyalties are soon divided as their relationship unexpectedly deepens, triggering angst among the guerillas and increasing demands from Leighton’s superiors. Initially intent on merely using one another, they must navigate a growing bond even as Zorrita plans how best to use the missiles to remove Vilar, and Leighton plots to have an American Special Forces team seize them by force. Duty and desire clash as the dedicated revolutionary and the calculating spy race headlong toward an inevitable, deadly collision.
