This thrilling, unpredictable, yet sometimes hilarious quest, takes you from the fashionable London restaurant scene to the wild, untamed jungles of the Cardamom Mountains, where an English baker helps a Cambodian refugee searching for his missing family and an elusive plant, the source of an exquisite spice.

After receiving word from a Cambodian-based American P.I. claiming to have found the family, the unlikely pair embarks on a quest to reunite them and locate the plant, which the Cambodian found near his village before witnessing the Khmer Rouge herd his family away like animals over thirty-years earlier.

However, the pair are unaware the P.I. is a disgraced former DEA agent with ties to a major drug cartel, who coincidently, also want the plant, believing it to be a mythical opium poppy, rumored to produce undetectable heroin.
