EP 01 — Plan A: Costa Rica

A war changed everything before the journey even began. Miles Dean had one plan — ride south to Costa Rica to visit a friend he played chess with in silence and ate Spanish food with at his table, a man he couldn't speak a single word to and yet counted among his closest friends.
