Synopsis
A young veteran of the US Army, River Roulet is struggling to shake the horrors of his past. The war is behind him, but the memories remain. Desperate for distraction, he abandons the world he knows and flees to the country he has always dreamed of visiting: Brazil.
Rio de Janeiro is everything he hoped for. In the lead-up to Carnaval the city is alight with music and energy, and with a few friends beside him River seems to be pulling his life together — until he meets Natal, an impassioned journalist and free spirit who lives with the gangster who rules much of Rio.
As their romance grows, the two flee together into the Brazilian interior, pursued by the drug lord Tio Amato and his men. When River is forced to kill one of them the chase turns deadlier still, with the Brazilian government also on their trail. A standalone thriller co-written by Heather Graham and Chad Michael Murray.
