Set deep in the jungles of Colombia—far from the New York streets where they once married—Mary is brutally beaten and cast out by her husband, Manuel Cabou. A cold-blooded drug lord, Manuel murders his longtime associate in front of Mary simply to send a message: if she dares come for her son, he’ll kill her too. Their child, he vows, will be raised like him—a future kingpin.

Through a judge—an old acquaintance of her father’s—Mary is introduced to Jimmy Devlin, a former non-government agent turned professional race car driver, helicopter pilot, and broken-down hotel owner. Reluctantly drawn back into action, Jimmy agrees to help Mary.

With his Aboriginal sidekick Ritchie Richards, Jimmy crafts a plan to reach the boy—through the very drug network Cabou controls. Armed with cunning, a sharp Australian sense of humor, and a risky strategy that hinges on Mary’s courage, they set the trap.

Their mission takes them into the dangerous nightlife of Los Angeles, where they pose as hardened criminals to gain credibility. Their act is so convincing, they unknowingly become pawns in a far larger operation run by the FBI and CIA.

As they escalate from the clubs of New York to directly buying cocaine from Colombia, the time comes to reintroduce Mary. Her role becomes critical. Can she face the danger and pull off the ultimate deception?

Unaware that the Colombian government and CIA have launched a parallel operation against Cabou, Jimmy and Ritchie remain focused on Mary’s ability to hold her nerve.

The race is on—and if anything goes wrong, it could mean the end for all of them.
