Texan businesswoman Barbara has been working to convince her husband Dean, an oil worker, to buy a vacation home in the remote village of Cotacachi, Ecuador. Even though he's only seen the place in photos and home videos, Dean is willing to take the risk, but he doesn't want to give up the yard space he's used to back home. With a budget of $160,000 US, and the help of Barbara's friend and real estate agent Caroline, can this couple find the kind of tropical retreat they'll want to visit for years to come?
