Plot Summary
Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, “The Rum Diary” follows itinerant journalist Paul Kemp on an alcohol-fueled journey across the pristine island of Puerto Rico. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault, the wildly attractive fiancée of Sanderson, an American businessman involved in shady development deals.
