Discovery of a cache of cartel gold bullion further complicates their mission, as they are hunted by a cartel general hell-bent on getting it back.The pair's relationship deepens into romance as they unearth a wicked secret that's been buried for twelve years. Evidence points them to Bangkok, Thailand, for their final showdown with cartel forces that threaten their lives and those of their families.
