The basic mood of the San Diego-Tijuana chronicle is that of hidden treasure. What you need lies on the other side of the border, behind the closed doors at the back of the club, in the basement of the factory, inside the guarded walls of the military base.

For San Diego, Tijuana is a place of unfettered freedom, hedonism, crime and license. For Tijuana, San Diego is where the money is, where the rich houses and golf courses and boardrooms are situated. Each wants what the other has, and is persuaded that the best of it is hidden away and should really be taken by force.

The main issue is that nothing is free. Effort, willpower, even ruthlessness are all necessary to get what you want. It can be hidden or protected or just forgotten, but in any case, if you want it, you'll have to bleed for it.
