The story

George first encounters Carla when she sneaks onto his bus without paying the fare.

Carla later explains that she read letters from her boyfriend, Antonio (Richard Loza), which she had never been able to open before.

When they return to Nicaragua, they find Bradley, a U.S. citizen who is working as an aid worker and helping other U.S. citizens document human rights abuses conducted by the Contras.
