Twenty-three year-old Arturo Fernandez believes he has his life figured out. Like most young men in his village of Colima, Mexico, his plan is simple. He envisions himself marrying his long term girlfriend as soon as his carpentry business has taken off, and together they would build a nice home and raise happy children. Then the wind blows an American woman into Arturo’s path, and his life changes in ways so tragic that he finds himself considering the unthinkable. Laura Marie Spencer, a red-haired beauty from America is unwinding in Colima after a messy divorce from her wealthy husband when she happens to watch Arturo in an amateur boxing match. Impressed by his obvious passion and unmatched skill for the sport, Laura persuades Arturo to come to America with her where she promises to help him pursue a professional boxing career. Laura asserts that Arturo is a gem buried in Colima soils and all he needs is a little polishing to make him shine. Though initially resistant, Arturo eventually concedes that Laura’s offer is a God-sent opportunity that will help him achieve bigger dreams - like rescuing his family from the pangs of poverty. But when he arrives in America, his life is turned upside down with a force so powerful that it sends him careening on the edge of insanity. Instead of the fame, prosperity and success Laura had promised, Arturo is tossed into a path laced with sex, lies, deception and even murder. A golden opportunity turns into a fight for his life. How does a simple village carpenter from Mexico end up in a maximum prison in Florida charged with the murder of the very woman who had promised to nurture his dream? A shocking revelation from Laura’s scandalous secret past might be Arturo’s only saving grace...
