The undercover agent is inserted into a homicidal world where life has no value and his own is threatened by any miscue. To earn the cartel’s trust, he partakes in perilous tests of loyalty and dangerous criminal activities as he ascends their command chain.The detectives drive the investigation forward working with a renowned hacker, a forensic scientist, a US government undercover agent, and an Italian intelligence officer.
