Malia needs to leave El Salvador. A surfer and aspiring
engineer, she came to Central America as a Peace Corps volunteer
and fell in love with Ben. Malia's past year has been perfect: her
weeks spent building a much-needed aqueduct in the countryside, and
her weekends spent with Ben, surfing point-breaks in the nearby
port city of La Libertad. Suddenly, a major earthquake devastates
the country and brings an abrupt end to her work. Ben and Malia
decide to move on.
Now free of obligations, they have an old car, a wad of cash,
surfboards, and rough plans for an epic trip through South America.
Just as they're about to say goodbye to their gritty and beloved
Salvadoran beach town, a mysterious American surfer known only as
Pelochucho shows up--spouting grandiose plans and persuading them
to stay.
Days become weeks; documents go missing; money gets tight.
Suddenly, Ben and Malia can't leave. Caught between bizarre real
estate offers, suspect drug deals, and internal jealousies, this
unlikely band of surfers, aid-workers, and opportunists all
struggle to find their way through a fallen world, in "Kilometer 99
