The Server

Benjamin lives with a name he hates in a run-down San Francisco apartment, until his brother Billy finds him. Billy's a shattered war veteran who sleeps under a bridge with his loyal band of phone thieves, trying to avoid the police and the VA.

Thirty years earlier, Benjamin had an Ivy League degree and was getting noticed for his Peace Corps work on the Ecuadorian coast. But Felicia also noticed, seducing him into a life of cajoling secrets from others to be peddled worldwide to the highest bidder. Felicia's talented protégé lived a privileged life until he made a mistake and had to flee with the name Gloria.

Now he can only help Billy if he becomes Benjamin again, which means finding Felicia and fixing the mess he left behind. Benjamin eventually finds her, sightless, living in Mexico City. He agrees to be her eyes on a final road trip through Latin America in exchange for his restored identity, but Benjamin sees more than he ever could imagine.

The Server is filled with dark humor, and some people may find the images of sexual assault and drug use triggering.
