[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Chris McKinley (Jackson) is a recent college graduate backpacking through Europe. He is trying to enjoy and gain as much as he can from his last days there before he starts his new career back in the United States. When he reaches Pamplona along with two friends he meets a new trio of people. He meets an Australian thrill-seeker, a Spaniard (Varela), and a provocateur (D. Hopper). This new trio encourages McKinley to think about the life and path he has chosen to take and he does so. When the time for him to leave becomes close he must ponder whether he should take the road to his fast-track career or take a new path into his life.
