His wife, Norma, has run off with her ex-husband, taking Rays cards, shotgun, and car. But from the receipts, Ray can track where theyve gone.He takes off after them, as does an irritatingly tenacious bail bondsman, both following the romantic couples spending as far as Mexico. There Ray meets Dr. Reo Symes, the seemingly down-on-his-luck and rather eccentric owner of a beaten-upand broken-down bus, who needs a ride to Belize. The farther they drive, in a car held together by coat hangers and excesses of oil, the wilder their journey gets.
