Two strangers' lives intersect in shocking and cataclysmic ways in La Sorpresa, Oscar Gonzalez's explosive tale of infidelity, passion and revenge. The story begins simply, with a man heading home to see his wife after a lengthy trip; he catches a cab, and speaks openly and candidly to the driver about his beloved spouse. Returning the favor, the cab driver then describes his own love, a young woman rebounding from a broken and contrite heart. Lo and behold, the women turn out to be one and the same, which pits both men head-to-head against one another, and sets the stage for virulently ugly conflict.
