Screenwriter Charlie Pope (Miguel Ferrer) ventures to Mexico to tie the loose ends of a script he's trying to finish. But he doesn't have much time, and his "research" requires him to dabble with ruthless criminal elements. Before long, he's embroiled in a ghoulishly illegal organ donation scheme, eventually losing one of his kidneys to the harvesters. Now, he can't leave until he puts a stop to their nefarious schemes for good.
