Dakar 2000 - ePublication
THE STORY: Boubs is serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal and is a little fed up with all the red tape. The morning after he crashes a supply truck that he has filled with misappropriated goods to aid a local village’s gardening group, he is reprimanded by Dina, the seasoned U.S. security agent now in charge in Dakar. She presents the smooth talker with an ultimatum: a one-way ticket back to the States or a make-good mission. Smitten with Dina and desperate to make an impact, Boubs jumps at the chance to redeem himself. But as Dina’s assignments and his feelings for her escalate, he unexpectedly finds himself in a moral dilemma, where he must decide how far he is willing to go to do what is right.
