An American soldier, traveling alone in rural Mexico, is arrested and, without a hearing or a trial, thrown into one of the country's most notorious maximum-security prisons.
If the American's true identity and mission are discovered, he will never leave Mexico alive.
Michael Quinn, ex-Navy SEAL turned CIA special operative, is given the assignment: rescue the trapped American before the soldier receives a life sentence from the Mexican government...or a death sentence from the Mexican drug cartels.
