Getaway
What you need to know before your trail
Michelle Mason is on a kind of holiday – it’s not really the relaxing kind however as she is staying in Puerto Vallarta to figure out the rest of her life. You see her husband has suddenly died leaving behind a pile of debt and a great deal of scandal.
One day she is sitting on the beach when a man called Daniel walks by. They go on a date but well, it doesn’t go exactly to plan – as Michelle finds herself in the middle of a covert drugs deal , not to mention a whole lot of danger. Not exactly the excitement and new activity that she was looking for.
How on earth could things get any worse and what is she going to do?
Travel Guide
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta sounds like such a nice an idyllic location – indeed it sounds rather nice in a lot of ways-
“She waded into the water until it was up to her hips. Warm as a bath but the surf was pounding.”
But it’s in this very setting that its still very much part of Mexico – that this type of paradise is marred and tainted by the same political and criminal corruption that scars the rest of the county. It may seem a far and distant place removed from the Mexican reality but its not.
“Sorry this has happened to you and your friend. It’s not so common in Vallarta but it happens”
Michelle comes here to relax and relax she does at first on the beach and later on in the bedroom with a man she’s just met. However when he is killed, she gets drawn in to the Mexican reality. She thinks she has problems back in LA but little does she know that things are about to get much worse. For a bag of cocaine is found in her bag and she is thrown into jail.
This is just the start of Michelle’s journey into the dark heart of Mexico and its underbelly – To the world of drugs, the drug cartels, shady businessmen and the big players in the Mexican underworld.
