Summary:
A Hollywood movie crew is in the midst of making a western in a remote Peruvian village. When production wraps, the baleful stuntman Kansas remains, attempting to find redemption in the isolation of Peru and the arms of a former prostitute. Meanwhile, the local Indians have taken over the abandoned set and begun to stage a ritualistic re-enactment of the production with Kansas as their sacrificial lamb.
