Recounts true stories of people who ended up miles from home, in a foreign land, in a situation beyond their worst nightmares.

There is a terrifying tale of kidnapping and murder by guerillas in Africa; a dope deal in Kuwait that starts small and ends in hard time; an anniversary holiday in the Philippines that ends up a kidnapping by Muslim terrorists; and other stories of unsuspecting travelers who barely made it home.
