β¦ Synopsis
Adrift in Cambodia, Robert Grieve -- pushing thirty and eager to side-step a life of quiet desperation as a small-town teacher -- decides to go AWOL. As he crosses the border from Thailand, he tests the threshold of a new future.οΏ½
And on that first night, a small windfall precipitates a chain of events involving a bag of "jinxed" money, a suave American, a trunk full of heroin, a hustler taxi driver, a corrupt policeman, and a rich doctor's daughter, in which Robert's life is changed forever.

Filled with Hitchcockian twists and turns, suffused with the steamy heat and pervasive superstition of the Cambodian jungle, and unafraid to confront uneasy questions about luck...
