When twenty-seven American children are tragically killed in a cartel housecleaning gone wrong in McAllen, Texas, the nation is thrown into turmoil. In response, Miguel Lopez, the first Latino President of the United States, authorizes Operation Alamo, a covert plan devised by the NSA to strike back at the cartel and halt the flow of drugs and illegal migrants across the Rio Grande. As Operation Alamo unfolds, the destinies of several key players become intertwined. Ana Reyes, a Honduran migrant fleeing violence, Javier Ruiz De Velasco, the reluctant new President of Mexico, Danielle Boyd, a determined DEA agent, Lacey Gilbert, a Texas National Guardswoman, Amanda Rizzo, a Hidalgo County deputy with a dangerous secret, Fernando 'Mouse' Alfaro, an ambitious hitman with the Santa Sangre cartel, and Fernando Torres, the feared leader of the Santa Sangre himself, all find themselves caught in a battle that spans the deserts of Mexico, the streets of Reynosa and McAllen, and the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. and Mexico City.
