Despite having worked on movies worldwide, English Line Producer James Cooper encounters a whole new set of challenges when in charge of the production of Redmayne West in Amazonia. An indolent fading director way out-of-his depth, continual second-guessing interference from his Hollywood masters five time zones away, an ingenue player who thinks she knows more about everything than the seasoned professionals around her, the leading actress abducted, the movie being used as a mule by a local drugs cartel, and lurking always beneath the surface the threat...of murder. And then there's the reigniting of a long-dormant emotional flame. All told not from the comfort of movie executive suites but from the unglamorous world of location filming, the reel world.
