Shot down over the jungle with a planeload of grass, Vietnam War hero Joe Murphy gets caught up in the brutal Guatemalan Civil War and an attack on a Mayan village by the Army and its CIA "advisors". Badly injured, he escapes on a nightmare trek through the jungle, hunted by the Army, the CIA, and death squads. Healed by guerrilla doctor Dona Villalobos, he falls in love with her and tries to save her from the War's widening horror of insanity, tragedy, and death.
He returns to San Francisco to reveal the connection between the CIA and the Army death squads, only to be rejected by the media and soon forced to flee arrest for murders he did not commit. Back in Guatemala he joins Dona and tries to get her to leave before she is killed.
Based on the author's own experiences as one of the last foreign journalists left alive in Guatemala after over 100 journalists had been killed by Army death squads.
