Caught

Twenty-five-year-old David Slaney, locked up on charges of marijuana possession, has escaped his cell and sprinted to the highway; now he must make good on the heist that went wrong and win back the woman he loves. There, he's picked up by his sister's friend and taken to a strip bar, where he survives his first night on the run. Evading the cops isn't his only objective; Slaney also wants to track down his old partner, Hearn, and get back into the drug business. As Slaney makes his fugitive journey across Canada, he adopts numerous guises to outpace authorities. When he finally reunites with Hearn, their scheme sends Slaney to Mexico, Colombia, and back again on an epic quest fueled by luck, charm, and unbending conviction. Here are bravado and betrayal, bad weather and seas, love, undercover agents, the collusion of governments, unbridled ambition, innocence and the loss thereof, and many, many bales of marijuana. Here, too, is the seeming invincibility of youth and all the folly that it allows.
