Introduction

As violent killings unfold in her Dominican town, Liz begins to suspect the deaths may have their roots in homophobia. After her girlfriend is brutally slaughtered, Liz decides to hide her sexuality to keep herself and others safe. But on a weekend trip, forbidden desires are reawakened. Quietly political, this is an enormously entertaining ride.

Diana Cipriano
