Synopsis

Hal O'Meara, a young diplomat assigned to the American Embassy in Mexico City, finds that falling in love with Felicia, the beautiful daughter of a Mexican businessman, Ramon Godoy, leads him down a path of violence, passion, rape and death. In befriending a poor but smart street-boy, Pedro, they come in conflict with a corrupt police official. Can Hal and Felicia's love for one another save them from this official's brutal viciousness and also hold them together in the face of the murderous threats of one of Felicia's rejected suitors?
