Cold war tensions, restless natives and high society hallucinations permeate the thick jungle air in this black comedy satirizing CIA operations during the Eisenhower years. After spending years as a forgotten man in the American Embassy in the Congo, Larry Devlin is suddenly tapped to help assassinate that country’s new president. He is shocked by the immorality of the request, but his wife is delighted--seeing this as the career opportunity he’s been working for all these years.  Inspired by an actual CIA plot.
