"You know, I love Cancun. Sunshine, hot guys, and smiles everywhere. My favorite part is when you have the freakin Mafia after you. That's just the icing on the cake." Ambrosia Bane is in her last year of college, and is about to graduate. When she gets a bad grade on an essay, she must find a new topic to write about-and quick. So she decides to take a trip to Cancun, with her best friend to see if she can get any inspiration there. But once she gets there she is bombarded with multiple tragedies, and soon realizes that Cancun isn't all sunshine and relaxation. Accidentally getting involved with the wrong crowd, she soon finds her life in danger, and must get the help from a local bad boy. Will he be all the help she needs? Or will she be 'swimming with the fishes'?
