Career Army Sergeant Sterling Archer is a respected military man who
suddenly finds himself out of a job, out of luck, and penniless on the
mean streets of Las Vegas. When an old Army buddy presents him with an
opportunity to make more money than he ever imagined, Archer jumps at
the chance, unaware of incoming catastrophe. Soon, the pyramid scheme
goes sour, and Archer ends up behind bars in federal prison. His only
way out is to turn government informant. As if things could get any
worse, his new partnership with the FBI places him square in the sights
of a Mexican drug cartel, and Archer's life is turned upside down as he
fights to stay alive, no matter the cost. He must now desperately weave
his way through the dark underworld of gunrunning, human trafficking,
and the illegal narcotics trade. But Archer's troubles don't end there
as the investigative trail leads him across international borders and
into the high stakes world of espionage and political intrigue.
