Fletch is in Mexico with his wife, Marge, and their two children. Fletch's buddies, Willie and Fencer, are part of the drug trade there and are in competition with another local dealer, Pancho Pillow. Fletch is a poet, though he partakes in drug use from time to time. Willie and Fencer want to see the volcano nearby, and urge Fletch to join them. When Fletch is in the car, he senses hostility, not sure what the other two plan to do with him at the volcano. Though he's known them for a long time, Willie and Fencer have changed drastically as they got deeper into the drug game. They try to villainize Pancho, saying that he's likely the one involved in human trafficking. Once they park, Fletch runs out of the car, trampling his way down the side of the volcano and losing them. Fletch now has to make his way back to his house, which is miles away. On the way, he crosses through a town, and stops to get a drink at a bar. At the bar, he sees Pancho there, who is also eager to talk to him. Pancho tells him that he doesn't like seeing Fletch with scoundrels such as Willie and Fencer, stating that they're involved with human traffickers now. The lights to the bar go out, giving Fletch another chance to escape. He finally finishes his trek home, finding Willie out front, but neither say anything. When he walks into his house, he spots Marge and Fencer naked in bed together, and he chooses instead to sleep outside.
