Alec Rourke, a former Marine, thought he'd left his violent past behind. After a peaceful fishing trip with his best friend, Felix Donovan, Alec returns to his home in Valencia City, only to discover that his world has been shattered. His wife, Michelle, and their five-year-old daughter, Jessica, have been kidnapped.
The man behind their abduction? Jacob Everett-once Alec's closest friend, now a ruthless figure entangled with the notorious Los Reyes cartel. Years ago, Jacob's betrayal tore their bond apart, and Alec never imagined that the past would resurface in such a personal and brutal way.
As Alec races to find his family, he plunges into the dangerous underworld of cartel violence, old friendships, and haunting memories. With every lead, the lines between right and wrong blur, and Alec must confront the darker sides of his own soul. The stakes are higher than ever as he hunts for answers in places like Sierra Blanca and Laredo Springs, where old ghosts linger and danger is always lurking.
Time is running out, and Alec must rely on his skills, his resolve, and his fractured loyalty to navigate a world where betrayal and bloodshed are all too familiar. In a race against time, Alec must make impossible choices in a fight for his family's survival-but in the end, can he truly escape the shadows of his past?
