When the wife and son of a close and trusted friend are kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel and threatened with death unless the friend works for them, Casca, alias Carlos Romano, jets to the States to come to the family's desperately-needed help.

He'll need a small select group of former colleagues and military buddies to help him spring the mother and son, and so flies on to New Mexico to recruit his squad of born killers to take out the cartel.

Time is against them, however, as the cartel leader threatens to send Carlos's friend his son's fingers through the post unless he co-operates within days, so a hit, snatch and run operation is quickly devised.

Whether they'll succeed or not depends on the determination, skill and complete dedication of the small group of men, knowing they are pitted against superior numbers and people who are not worried how many they kill to achieve their evil aim.
