Fists fly, honor tested, loyalty displayed, and a new friendship is forged. Mexico is being swept by a tropical storm in the Pacific while a hurricane rages in the Atlantic, both weather fronts bringing non-stop torrential rains in Acapulco. The country is paralyzed. The new friends are put to the test when they cross paths with a drug lord who is also in the human trafficking business. Their warrior instinct leads them on a hunt from Acapulco to Mexico City and on to Washington DC where they uncover a dark side to Washington politics.
