The United States' crackdown on cocaine trafficking in Florida has forced the Colombian drug cartels to turn to Mexico. The original, monolithic Mexican drug cartel has splintered into several warring factions, exhibiting a type of ruthlessness and barbarism that has not been seen before. Military and law enforcement personnel are actively recruited by the new deadly Mexican cartels, as well as all manner of criminals and U.S. gangsters. An ancient evil religion fuels the ambitions of the most powerful cartel leaders, hell-bent on utter destruction. As it fights its decent into darkness the country desperately searches for heroes... The book is unique. It is violent. It attempts to portray the so-called Mexican drug wars in realistic fashion as to capture the brutality and devastation of the appropriate time periods. The antagonists, cartel leaders devoted to the ancient Aztec gods, perform evil acts in shocking mannerisms. Yet, at the same time, it tells the tale of a man and his spiritual quest to find peace.

He is discovered and brought to a monastery where he is healed by a polymath Catholic priest. Eventually the protagonist becomes devoted to the priest's cause. He is transformed into a holy warrior, reminiscent of the Knights Templars, and will stop at nothing in his fight against the cartels to protect the innocent.
