Martin and Margot have been writers since they could write and lovers since the poet, La Bestia, brought them together. They have decided to travel through Guatemala to search for him in an old rickety land rover in a constant need of repair, with a low budget that they cannot afford. What begins as an adventure, soon takes a downward turn with an unexpected pregnancy that changes their perspective of one another and threatens their purpose. Amid their internal chaos and frenzied writing they are soon confronted with responsibility they cannot run away from, and are faced with choices that may tear them apart in a way that neither Margot's level headedness, nor Martin's optimism can fix.
