A sun drenched dream becomes a fight for survival in this gripping psychological thriller.
Chloe, an eighteen-year-old college student seeking escape from her lonely life, uses her birthday money for a winter break in the Spanish coastal town of Benidorm. Desperate for a fresh start, she finds a perfect apartment through a sleek, professional agency. It's the dream beginning to her new life.
But the dream is a trap.
A month later, the police are at her door. The agency was a front, and Chloe is now labeled an okupa a squatter. Evicted in minutes, her passport seized, and her bank account frozen by the court, she is thrown onto the streets, destitute and trapped in a foreign country.
As she navigates the brutal reality of homelessness, a charming British expat named Alistair offers a lifeline: shelter, food, and help. But his rescue is a different kind of trap. Alistair is a meticulous psychopath who preys on the desperate, and Chloe becomes his latest obsession a beautiful, broken thing to be collected and owned.
From the ruthless underbelly of Spanish bureaucracy to the gilded cage of a predator's villa, Chloe must use every ounce of her wit to survive. But when a dead body is found on the beach and she becomes the prime suspect, she discovers that the legal system that failed to protect her is now eager to condemn her.
A haunting and visceral thriller, An American Nightmare in Spain explores how quickly a dream can curdle into a nightmare and how one wrong turn can lead to a fight not just for freedom, but for your very soul.
