One good deed spirals into a nightmare…
An underground war has broken out in the sun-bleached rot of Highland City, USA. A Mexican cartel has claimed the streets, and a rogue faction of crooked cops and white nationalist militants is determined to burn the foreign syndicate out by any means necessary.
Stumbling into the crossfire is Reed Hubbard—a bush-league MMA fighter who just wanted to get an icepack and some cheap protein from a gas-station minimart. Instead, he walks into a bloodbath, gets framed for a killing he tried to stop, and finds himself caught between an unhinged meth-head giant, a sociopathic mastermind, and an escalating body count.
As Reed's daughter is used to blackmail him into the unthinkable, an obsessive FBI agent closes in, and an unforgettable cast of geniuses and degenerates claw over one another for any possible advantage.
But in the meanest of times, nobody wins. The lucky ones just might live to deny everything.
