Logan is off the grid; a modern-day drifter with a bad habit of inadvertently walking into situations that place him in mortal danger. Discovering a mutilated body on a railroad track Near Madison Bend in southern Arizona, Logan calls in what is obviously a homicide, only to find that the local sheriff seems unconcerned, and is positive that no trace evidence will be found to identify the killer. Too many bodies are found annually in the arid region near the Mexican border, and the authorities have become a little apathetic, to Logan's way of thinking. He decides to stay in the area for awhile and conduct his own investigation, which subsequently attracts the attention of Zack Slater, a ruthless operator who makes millions through the importation of drugs and the transportation of illegal aliens. Andrea Corby knows that Slater had her boyfriend, Sam, murdered, and follows the two men responsible to a motel room occupied by Logan, where they are physically restrained by him and one of them is persuaded under extreme duress to admit that Slater ordered the killings of more than one man. The ensuing events lead to more violence and death, as Logan attempts to keep Andrea and her sister Fran safe from Slater, who is determined to kill anyone he thinks could be a threat to his organization and his continued freedom.

An effective, sophisticated and accurate piece of timeless narrative, a testimony of the individual truth that is always ingrained within the actual and social facts of history.
Between the last days of the "Geniul din Carpati," or Nicolae Ceausescu, and the years immediately following his famous execution by firing squad that was shown live on TV (25 December 1998), Romania fell into the uncertainty of a revolution that was never implemented in practice. Reflecting a society split between the desire for freedom and the latent immobility of an entire generation born of the backwardness of the Ceauseschian regime, is Nicu, a teacher living in Bucharest. Within the short span of a few months, Nicu finds himself unemployed and has to face the hardships of a job that is no longer there, money that is scarce, and food that is lacking. Mihail, a preadolescent boy of the underground, lives with his friend Barbie within the sewer system that cuts across the city. Always populated by a young humanity, the sewers of Bucharest form a jungle where the law of the strongest prevails, where one gets high sniffing Aurolac from plastic bags and in order to eat one prostitutes oneself in exchange for a handful of dollars. One day, on the snow-covered meadows of the Tineretului Park, that green space of Bucharest and the invisible wall of partition separating the good neighborhoods from the periphery, Nicu’s and Mihail’s stories cross.
