Overview
Lina is about to trade her dream job in filmmaking for some snooze-ville gig that'll pay enough to please her fiancée. Enter her Uncle, a rascally womanizer set on turning a weekend in the La Calera into an eye-opening fling for his niece. Lina's not interested, of course, but then she meets the lovely David, who challenges her to make the toughest decision of her life.
