El Camino Loco: An Epic Misadventure

Flounder O'Toole still relishes his glory year as Beaverburg's "legendary" high school mascot. Now his hometown is fading, his mismanaged pub is on life-support, and he-briefly but memorably-dies. For most, dodging death would be a wake-up call. But Flounder believes hitting rock-bottom is no reason to quit digging. Enter Bella Ventura, a former classmate famous for her death-defying adventures. Years after losing contact with Flounder and his bumbling buddies, she mysteriously offers them a life changing challenge: backpack across Spain, on camera, for a shot at a million-dollar prize. The contest sounds like easy money-a scenic trek through historic villages along the mystical pilgrimage trail known as the Camino de Santiago. But Bella has more than prize money in mind, and she has devised Camino Commandments that will make blisters the least of their problems. As secrets surface and suspicions mount, the challenges turn difficult, dangerous, and even deadly, provoking the question: Is Bella after ratings, relationships, or revenge?El Camino Loco is an amusingly bittersweet account of failure and forgiveness, of losing and finding your way. Loosely based on Dante's Divine Comedy, it is a tall tale told for those who dream of tackling an impossible challenge, and for those who laugh at people who do.
