As he dodges threats in El Paso and across the river in Juarez, Jon is aided by an alcoholic Iraq War veteran, a disgraced narcotics detective and a local tejana - all of whom have scores of their own to settle with the narcotraficantes. Within a matter of days, Jon is sucked into the violent and darkly humorous web of cartel warlords and free-trade profiteers in which his brother was tangled up. Oddly, Jon seems more intent on trying to go missing himself than he is in actually figuring out what happened to his sibling.

The only person who shows any interest in his disappearance is his brother, Jon. Juarez, Mexico, is murder city, so it's not surprising when an American real estate broker vanishes there without a trace.
