Two directionless college chums hatch a bold plan to take a road trip adventure through Central America in order to launch a fishing business on a remote Caribbean island. Corn Island Rundown documents the travels of Chance Hooker and Dave Kipling who set out to find their future in a battered 1967 Plymouth station wagon loaded with fishing gear, camping provisions and high hopes. Their colorful 3600 mile road trip through the US, Mexico and Central America introduces them to a new world of exquisite landscapes, historic cities and themselves. But this exotic journey also charts a course through lands fraught with potential disaster like earthquakes, smoking volcanoes and guerrilla warfare. Their ultimate destination-- Nicaragua-- is a Central American nation embroiled in a decades long conflict waged between a family of autocratic dictators named Somoza and ardent guerrillas called Sandinistas advocating revolution and known to be allies of Fidel Castro. Arriving at the literal end of the road on the banks of the "hidden" Rio Escondido, in Rama, Nicaragua, Chance and Dave discover their journey has only really just begun. Corn Island Rundown written by Chip Hunter is an adventure story of love, loss and learning set in a Caribbean country teetering on the brink of revolution and ready to explode like a volcano.
