Writer James Foster is vacationing with his wife at a VIP resort in a third world country. He published a book a few years ago, hasn't written a line since, and chose this place hoping to find inspiration here. The couple meet another couple and, despite being forbidden to leave the protected area, go on a picnic with them out of boredom. On the way back, James, who is driving, runs over a local man to death, and now he is to be punished to the full extent of local law.
