The Expatriate is the story of Sidney, a man who discovers he is dying then drops everything in his life. He disappears to Mexico to face his final days alone. Planning for the inevitable, he’s thrown into a world of dark secrets, double lives, escapists, predators, hunters and the hunted. Love, life, death, fear, friendship, music, betrayal, forgiveness and obsession thrive in the Baja, at the end of the world. Sometimes, when one is closest to death they start living, really living for the first time in their lives.

Today more than ever, large numbers of Americans are leaving the United States.
