Newlyweds Randy and Amalia work at her brotherās sugar cane plantation in Veracruz, Mexico – where they are both doing their best to put as much distance as they can between themselves and their shadowy pasts. But it is precisely their ill-gotten reputations that makes Amaliaās brother turn to them for help when his son, 14-year-old Quique, is kidnapped. The men behind the crime are Los Queridos, a new cartel that has already made a name for itself based on their brutality and ruthlessness… and for their eerily devout worship of a new saint, La Querida. However, what should be a simple hostage exchange proves to be anything but. Los Queridos have unearthed something ancient and primal, some kind of demonic, infectious force they are unleashing upon their enemies and their victims, and they intend to use it to wage the bloodiest drug war the world has ever seen. And itās just a matter of time before our newlyweds are caught in the middle of it all, forced to be killers, outlaws, and leaders all at once if they want to live to see any kind of tomorrow.Ā
