Ronan Byrne has taken a leave of absence from his profession and
has come to the Dominican Republic, where instead of finding peace
in the coastal town of Santa Cruz he gets involved in conflicts
over issues of social justice. Instead of just hanging out with the
expatriates who sit around all day at a beach bar drinking and
talking and doing nothing, he develops relationships with two
activist women: Daria, a doctor whose mission is to stop a
foreign-owned power plant from killing children in the barrio with
its unfiltered smoke, and Filo, a social worker whose mission is to
stop sex tourism in the town and rehabilitate its victims. While
they pursue their missions with nonviolent methods, the Cobras, a
band of guerrillas, selectively kill the men they blame for the
deaths of people who were victims of injustice. As the two women
become frustrated in their efforts to get the government to take
legal action against the power plant and the local sex-tourist
hotel, they begin to wonder if the Cobras have the right idea, and
if violence is the only way to achieve their goals.
