In 2003, Bryan Jones and his wife, Max, joined a guided motorcycle tour through Cambodia, expecting a challenging but well-run adventure motorcycle trip through jungles, villages, and remote roads. What they got instead was something very different — aging bikes, a guide who kept disappearing, and a journey that quickly became unpredictable.
As they pushed deeper into the country, the riding grew harder, the support thinner, and the situations stranger — from unexpected food stops to rough jungle riding, mysterious accommodations, and a growing sense that something wasn’t right with the tour they’d signed up for.
By the time the reality of their guide’s situation became clear, Bryan and Max found themselves relying on their own skills and the kindness of strangers to get through a motorcycle adventure that was far more complicated — and far more dangerous — than they ever imagined.
