Ben Starosta had done volunteer work in a small village in Costa Rica during college. Afterward, he decides to return, thinking he can help the people more through other means. He introduces them to guerrilla growing, clandestine outdoor marijuana cultivation, similar to the methods used in Northern California. The pot is being shipped to the U.S. by catamaran boat, and the community is prospering. However, the C.I.A. soon catches wind and is on his trail.
