The Arbiters

By Pete Conrad

Marcus, an enforcer in Los Angeles' largest drug cartel, is gravely wounded while on cartel business in Colombia. While recuperating back in LA, Marcus falls in love with Sabrina, the adopted daughter of ex-cartel member, Max Brutus. When Sabrina doesn't reciprocate Marcus' overbearing exultations of love, he enlists the guidance of his seemingly shrewd Uncle Sein, the cartel's second-in-command, to assist him in navigating his feelings. Sein, who also suffers from his own emotional deficiencies, is eager to help his nephew, and concocts a plan to bring Marcus and Sabrina together. With one hasty decision, Sein ignites a series of events that results in colossal misunderstandings, unimaginable jealousy, and deadly consequences. As Marcus and Sein are forced to confront the brutal aftermath, each man embarks upon a personal, spiritual journey. Along the way, they both discover the love that exists in their hearts, and perhaps, how to make peace with their inner demons.
