Director David Carren in attendance

Daniel Ortiz lost the only thing that mattered to him when his fiancée was murdered in the Central American jungle ten years ago. When he goes to a play focused on that painful era, he is suddenly pulled into the production, into the play itself, and finds himself in a Central American prison, trapped with the woman he loves. Will he save her? Will they get a second chance? Or will they die together in a place with no name or hope?
