Mr. Tequila

Fri, Mar 1, 201949 mins

For the past three years, ever since the love of her life, Will (Matthew Le Nevez) died in a plane crash in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Georgia Wells (Kate Beckinsale) has lived as a recluse in the Welsh countryside, away from civilization and the comforts of 21st-century living. Her life changes one day when she spots Will in the background of a TV news report about the Congo. Shocked to her core, but filled with determination that Will is still alive, Georgia returns to the country's capital, Kinshasa, for the first time since the plane crash. There, she reunites with Judith Gray (Alex Kingston), Will's enigmatic erstwhile business partner, and Emmanuel Kazadi (Jacky Ido), a local Congolese journalist she met three years previously after his wife was also a victim of the crash.
