Billionaire Jonathan Tyler can buy anything he wants except deliverance from his fatal malady. ** His long shot lies at the end of a road trip from Roswell, New Mexico to Crystal City, Texas in a dilapidated bus with an ancient Hispanic and his 14 fighting cocks, plus several hitch-hikers. Jonathan hopes the old man's aunt, a famous curandera, can work her magic and heal him. Every other traveler also needs a favor from la curandera. As the pilgrimage progresses Jonathan, with his personal pilot, the old cock-fighter, and a hot, smart-mouthed college grad looking for her biological father, an illegal Belizean who must get home to his dying mother, and a hearse driver who eventually must tow the bus to its destination, become more intertwined as each tries to help the others attain their goals. ** But as Jonathan's condition worsens, in his disillusionment he begins to see life as one big cosmic joke. ** Then magic happens. ** Albeit skewed. **
