Synopsis/Details
1975 - Ignacio and his younger brother, Tomas, uncover a horrifying entity that preys on children of their community. The boys' father uses Tomas as bait to draw out the creature and kill it. Tomas is brutally killed in the attempt.
Residing in present day Houston, Rose gets news of her mother's car accident and placement on life support in Victoria, Mexico. With no immediate flights available, Rose's only option is to join a police escort, which Ignacio now patrols.
Royce, Landon, Truett and Vyva pull off a brazen robbery of a border casino in Texas. They too join the escort in order to escape into Mexico.
The Syndicate is a cartel affiliated with the casino. They employ Rojelio King, a sadistic retrieval expert, to track down the stolen money and send a violent message.
While en route to Victoria, the caravan is attacked by the Tamaulipas cartel and Vyva is mistakenly kidnapped in lieu of Rose. Landon and Truett vow to get her back, subsequently abducting Rose and Ignacio to assure their getaway.
Inspector Alessandra Montoya and intelligence operative Edgar Jasso are tasked with finding the abductees, further fueling a whirlwind of grisly events.
