Ray Lopez is on the run with a duffel bag full of cash. Both drug
dealers and the police are after him. But Ray is not a criminal. His
last brush with the law was over traffic tickets. Recently released from
the hospital with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, he is haunted by
voices, auditory hallucinations, that frighten him and cause him to
question his every move.
Ray’s journey from California to Laredo
is perilous. Like so many Americans before him, he travels through
unfamiliar territory with no clear way of knowing who will help and who
will harm him. And he may well find himself on the wrong side of the
border with a mind that has no borders.
