Description
An early retiree spending lazy days in Mexico is thrown together with America¿s First Lady after a plane crash on a remote Baja beach. They are threatened by village locals, but manage to escape in a rubber life raft where they find passionate late-life love.The President calls out the Marines and everyone else in search of the two, but unwittingly they dodge detection on their sail north. Romance flowers and their time together is much like a honeymoon.Of course the First Lady is reunited with her husband whose suspicions are aroused. Ultimately, with the help of advisors, he views the retiree as a threat to his reelection. The retiree does all he can to placate the President, but senses trouble. He drifts off to vacation in Europe. The President has a deranged killer freed from prison and sets him on the trail of the retiree with murder on the menu.There follows a wild, sometimes humorous, romp through Europe and Iberia, climaxing with an ironic twist in Asheville, North Carolina.
