A cop teams up with the former head of a drug cartel to avenge the death of the woman he loved in this
action-
drama.
Sean Vetter (
Vin Diesel) and
Demetrius Hicks (
Larenz Tate) are a pair of DEA agents who think they've made the bust of a lifetime when they capture
'Memo' Lucero (
Geno Silva), a multi-millionaire drug lord who controlled most of the narcotics traffic along the border of Mexico and the United States. However, with
Lucero behind bars, a new and decidedly more dangerous underworld kingpin rises to take his place, and
Diablo (
Timothy Olyphant), also known as
Hollywood Jack Slayton, soon proves to be even more dangerous than
Lucero when he orders his gunmen to assassinate
Vetter. While
Vetter escapes unharmed, his wife is killed, and
Vetter is thrown deep into despair. Now
Vetter is obsessed with bringing
Diablo to justice, and he's willing to do anything to bring him down -- even if it means teaming up with
Lucero.
