Erin McKenna, a beautiful songwriter married to a crooked Los Angeles
County sheriff's deputy, is kidnapped by Benjamin Armenta, the ruthless
leader of the powerful Gulf Cartel. But his demands are as unusual as
the crumbling castle in which Erin is kept. She is ordered to compose a
unique narcocorrido, a folk ballad that records the exploits of the
drug dealers, gunrunners, and outlaws who have populated Mexican history
for generations. Under the threat of death, Armenta orders Erin to tell
his life story--in music--and write "the greatest narcocorrido of all
time."
As the mesmerizing music and lyrics of Erin's song cascade from the
jungle hideout, they serve as a siren song to the two men who love her:
her outlaw husband, Bradley Jones, and the lawman, Charlie Hood--who
together have the power to rescue her. Here, amid the ancient beauty of
the Yucatecan lowlands, the long-simmering rivalry between these two men
will be brought closer to its explosive finale.
