When Corey and Jeff, a friend from work, decide to go to the Dominican Republic, they have no idea of what is waiting for them. Someone they know recommends Diego, a local who speaks English, to be their taxi driver and tour guide. On their second day, Diego takes them on a rambling ride through the capital city of Santo Domingo. They are on an eight-lane bridge filled with cars crawling along in both directions when two men on a moped dressed in plain-clothes pull them over in an attempted car jacking. Things only get worse when the uniformed police arrive and want to know what is going on. The carjackers pull out baseball caps with "Policia" across the front. Even though there is no physical evidence and their rights were trampled on, within a week, all three of them are arrested, charged with drug trafficking and sentenced to one-to-three years in Nayajo, the Dominican Republic's second largest prison. The fact that Corey and Jeff are innocent means nothing to the corrupt legal system.Corey tells his story as he battles dysentery, pneumonia, depression, and ADHD. Despite his failing health, the horrific, inhumane conditions and rampant corruption, he out thinks the lawyers, guards and prison system to create their defense and escape plan. Once outside the prison gates, he and Jeff race across the city to the airport while trying to avoid the police and the very real possibility of being recaptured before they can gain their freedom. And if they fail? They face a mandatory 20-year prison sentence with no possibility of parole. This gripping true story will keep you in suspense from the first to the last page and make you think twice before hiring a taxi while on vacation in a third-world country!
