Footloose and broke, the unnamed narrator of Gone Tomorrow hops on a plane without asking questions when his director friend offers him a role in an art film set in Colombia. But it quickly becomes clear that this will not be the story of gritty bohemians triumphing against the odds. With a serial killer in the area, everything comes to a head when the carnaval celebration begins. But once the fiesta is over, all that's left are ghostly memories and the narrator's insistence on telling the tale.
