In life you observe, you take stock of your resources, and then you get about the journey. In the high Cordillera Real Mountains between La Paz, Bolivia and Lima, Peru, an uncharted single-engine plane crashes, leaving two survivors alone in the wilderness. Johnny Ingram, an American journalist, and his fellow passenger Christal, a Bolivian citizen, don't share a language, but with no one looking for the wrecked plane and with winter fast approaching, they must learn to work together In Order to Survive. Somewhere between guns, sex, and life on the edge in the high Andes comes the inner strength required to live and the opportunity for love. Obstacles, intrigue, passion, and the tale of the chase provide the roots of a desperate journey...and a man searching for answers.
