Field of Oleander

When Raymond Karr is approached by a murderous gang to become a drug smuggler bringing drugs from Africa, he immediately rejects the proposition. A straight shooting immigrant, he actually abhors besmirching his family’s honor. But his passion to attend George Washington med school is unmatched by dismal financial capability, causing him to vacillate as his better instinct struggles with his ambition. Eventually, through a series of coincidences and inertia, despite a re-occurrence of an eerie dream in a field of Oleander, he is swept along the road to criminality. After a tempestuous affair with a beautiful Latina, it’s game on.
