Based on Denis Johnson's 1986 novel, the narrative trails an enigmatic American woman, ostensibly a journalist and anti-war observer, who finds herself ensnared in the underbelly of Managua's society. Her nights are spent navigating the shadowy corridors of the Inter-Continental Hotel, her body a commodity she trades in her desperate quest to escape the turmoil-ridden country. In this chaotic landscape, she crosses paths with an enigmatic British oil businessman, a stranger whose allure is as potent as the mysteries shrouding him. Their connection is instantaneous, igniting a love story set against the backdrop of a nation in upheaval.
