Lily Without

by Guillermo Paxton

Felix Cañez is a police detective in the violent city of Juarez, Mexico. His cruelty is well-known both among those that work with him as well as the unlucky criminals that cross his path. His wife, Julia, is a beautiful woman, who believes that her future doesn't exist without Felix. She becomes obsessive about her looks after his infidelities, yet feels powerless to change her life. Until, of course, she meets Lila, a prostitute that Omar hires to spice up their sex life and "make his wife happy." Before Julia, Lila kept her heart from loving anyone but her kids. Now she is willing to do nearly anything to protect their forbidden love. A cross between the perils of the mé·nage à trois with the narco-violence of the Mexican drug war, Lily Without is based on actual events. For some, sex and violence are interchangeable. equally arousing as they are dangerous.
