DOWN TWISTED

“She’s been set up, shanghaied, and shot at. There must be an easier way to fall in love…”

A naive, good-hearted Los Angeles waitress does not think twice about helping her troubled roommate. Unfortunately, her help lands her in Central America fleeing for her life with a grungy mercenary.
