"Missionary Stew" follows political fundraiser Draper Haere on a
quest to uncover the secret behind a right-wing coup in an unnamed
Central american country. Haere seeks the information in order to
get dirt on his boss's opponent in the 1984 US Presidential
election. Haere's pursuit of the truth repeatedly puts Haere's life
in danger, as the powers-that-be stop at nothing to keep the
episode buried. Along the way, Haere carries on an affair with the
wife of his candidate and enlists the aid of Morgan Citron, an
almost-Pullitzer winning journalist who has recently been released
from an African prison where the prisoners where fed human
flesh--the titular missionary stew. Together Citron and Haere face
up against cocaine traffickers, Latin American generals, corrupt US
officials, and Citron's estranged, tabloid-publisher mother.
