Emily, an accident prone wanderlust seeker, trades in her heels for flip flops when she embarks on a solo escapade in Central America. Her priorities are: staying alive, enjoying the simple things in life, and hopefully finding a steamy vacation fling to get her out of her sexless and the city rut. Aside from the obvious precautions: dodging poisonous snakes, spiders, scorpions, and the lustful Ticos, the daily ins and outs of jungle life are anything but dull. Trouble has a way of finding Emily. Every day down south is like a game of Russian roulette. She gets caught in the middle of a dangerous tropical storm causing mud slides outside her property, manages to get attacked by stray dogs that she attempts to rescue, and she even randomly meets a legendary fugitive. This naive rookie traveler has to flee from the local cops who want a piece of her American Pie. Night after night, she falls asleep underneath her bed net with mace in one hand and a flash light in the other wondering if she will make it through the trip without getting hurt. Travel insurance may cover broken bones, but it won't cover broken hearts. By the second month of her trip she finds herself falling hard for her fling Darren, an internet stranger, she met on a Trip Advisor forum. He has recently broke free of his baggage, a psycho ex-girlfriend and an unfulfilling job to drive down from Canada to Costa Rica. He becomes more than the one important thing she was missing in her life. He quickly becomes her partner in crime.
