The Past Pursues Us Like Detectives, Debt Collectors, Thieves

JP has come home to Mexico. His mother needs help getting medical treatment and he’s determined to be a good son. Soon, however, his old childhood friend Everardo is plying him with craft beers at the bar, and JP is throwing his first-ever punch (it was crappy), and what’s supposed to be a dutiful family visit is rapidly spiralling into a madcap whirlwind of murder, pills, and fraud. In his latest fast-paced and funny whodunit, tender and hilarious as ever, Juan Pablo Villalobos lovingly turns his attention to the stories we tell ourselves about home: about what changes, what doesn’t, and what should.
