A deathbed promise sends Craig Nolan from Seattle to Kuala Lumpur to find his best friend’s son and deliver two gifts. Described by outsiders as a small Asian country on steroids, Malaysia has many surprises for Craig: a huge casino in a country that forbids gambling, poisonous fish, terrorist gangs, and the love of his life. His first night in KL, a pickpocket steals Craig’s wallet in a gay bar, but an attractive young Malay intervenes, returning Craig’s valuables. When Craig accepts Wuji’s offer to help find his friend’s son, the search takes them to an exotic resort island, mountain casino, palm oil plantation, and Malaysia’s version of American Idol. Along the way, mutual attraction becomes love, with the lingering question: what happens when Craig’s mission is complete?
