Argentina, 1979. Life has gone stale on Jim, an expat working in Catamarca. Everything is predictable until he meets Lisa. She has the starry eyes, the sensuous lips, and the tango steps that make all rational assumptions go away. Jim gives her top marks for animation but there is a flashing beacon at the end of his tip sheet: Danger. Lisa is a little too intense, a
little too crazy, a woman with too many scenes playing in her head.
That doesn’t faze Santos, a curandero looking for a medium to channel the
spirits of the dead and attract his lost sister. He lures Lisa to his compound
in northern Argentina, where she becomes a pawn in a deadly family feud. Jim
goes in search of Lisa. Tracking her down turns into a double mission --
delivering Lisa from her captors and himself from the confining routine of his
life.
It takes a fantastic journey through rugged back country for Jim to realize
how much he loves Lisa. The story unfolds against the background of a
country in the grip of a military junta. It is a place where kidnapping,
violence, and death no longer make headlines, a place where you learn survival
skills.
