A popular American novelist, who has written her first non-fiction work about the political infidelities and corruption within the tiny South American country of San Hermoso, returns to that very country as part of a publicity junket prepared by her publishing company. Traveling with her best friend and confidant, she is abducted by a mysterious cartel that proves to be the secret police arm of the government. In order to win her freedom and to save her friend's life, she is forced to commit a murder that would be beneficial to San Hermoso's dictator. Will she be willing to trade a life for a life and pull the trigger to murder her unknown target in cold blood? Will the C.I.A. be able to reach her in time? Will she even survive?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jesús Franco directed over 200 films, often completing them in under two weeks with budgets that wouldn't cover a used car. This was his late-period 'respectable' phase.
Linnea Quigley, scream queen icon of 'Return of the Living Dead,' appears here in a dramatic role that suggests someone lost a bet. Her presence alone has created a minor cult following for this otherwise forgotten title.
