Synopsis
Dean Seagrave (David Sutcliffe), a brilliant graphic novelist with writer's block, hasn't been himself lately. Not long ago his sex-bomb Argentine lover Pablo (Antonio Sabato Jr.) left their California beach house on a cigarette run, and he hasn't been seen since. This exodus is particularly complicated for Dean because Pablo was meant to be the answer to all of Dean's problems. That was the plan, anyway.
Unable to work, sleep or even drag a razor across his face, Dean does what any self-respecting romantic would do in this situation: he blows off his deadline, throws some clothes in a bag and books a flight on Aerolineas, Argentinas. Destination: Closure.
Once in Buenos Aires, Dean tries to track down his beloved Pablo, but this proves more difficult than he anticipated. In addition to the language barrier, Dean gradually discovers that practically everyone he encounters - from Pablo's domineering mother (Sonia Braga) to the beautiful cafe owner Sofia (Celina Font), all the way to a guy he picks up in a bookstore (Leonardo Brzezicki) - is not what they seem.
By the time Dean and Pablo are re-united, the lines between art and life, resolution and revenge, man and maniac, have all gone fuzzy. Dean abandons all better judgment, and with his broken heart practically leaking blood and testosterone pumping through his veins, he puts a machete on his credit card and heads off to have one last talk with Pablo.
