Crispin Gomez Diaz runs narco cash between Pasadena and Nogales, while his family is watched in Los Angeles and Sinaloa as collateral.
On his last run, Crispin loses his backpack to joyriding barrio boys who have no idea they stole a small fortune in narco dollars hidden among the contents. Crispin has only thirty-six hours until his appointment in Nogales. He must steal back the money and make his delivery, otherwise his family will be executed as punishment for his failure.
When Crispin's undocumented status becomes a political issue in a tight city council race, the gardener no one ever noticed is suddenly the subject of intense interest when all he needs is to remain invisible to track down his stolen backpack.
Dirty debts and raw ambition collide in this fast-moving tale of honor and payback.
