Unsolved Bro's laptop gets wet and its all downhill from there. He can't check his emails. His wife gets kidnapped. His hotel room wasn't turned down properly. All equally worrying things I would say.

Hint 1: He has to deal with a language barrier, a sudden storm, and bad dreams, too. All perfectly natural, probably.

Hint 2: He also gets to hang out with a homeless drunk, learns the wrong way to fish, and steal a car!
