As he approaches 50 years old, recently divorced after a long and unhappy marriage, Clyde overhears a conversation that changes his life. After having resigned himself to a boring and lonely life, he overhears two men his age talking about their trip to Costa Rica and the women there that they had been with. And so begins Clyde's journey into a world he never imagined: a life of sex, adventure and misadventure. What follows is the story of his trials and errors, both romantic and otherwise, in tropical Costa Rica: a beautiful but mystifying and sometimes exasperating land far removed from his native Cleveland. He’s definitely not in Ohio any more.
