With their lives on the line, they plan their escape. Amid the action, however, there is also a love story between a young American expat caught up in the turmoil and the local bar girl that he loves.The main events are historically accurate and the reader will find themselves immersed in a world where vast economic inequalities condition the interactions of people of very different backgrounds.
