## Description

After numerous infidelities and a messy break-up, a burnt-out attorney joins the Peace Corps to reform and redeem himself. He finds peace in the serene plains and mountains of Tanzania, teaching villagers to fish--until he becomes attached to one of his young charges who's about to undergo a barbaric ritual to please her fiance.
