Two friends escape to Mexico City and enter a world of art, sex, drugs, and rebellion that will change their lives forever.  Josie just left her marriage while her childhood friend Raquel, a rock star (“kind of like if Mick Jagger and Chrissie Hynde gave birth to PJ Harvey”) runs from the paparazzi, hot on her trail after her disastrous affair with a young actor.  Josie and Raquel skewer celebrity gossip, tasting all that Mexico City has to offer and cementing their friendship, though one will pay the ultimate price for her freedom.
