With his ratings low in the opinion polls and his chances of re-election looking slim, the President of the United States needs to start looking strong again. The American people have simply had enough of the drug pushers and pedlars. The President orders the DoJ to get its act together and get the FBI and DEA working together, sharing intelligence with the CIA and to start taking down the major players in Operation Marlin.
Madison Hayes from the FBI and Logan Watson from the DEA are thrown together as MEX1 and tasked with Capture or Kill of Mexican drug king, Miguel Perez, ruler of South America's narcokleptocracy. Hayes likes scientific logic and verified research whilst Watson is more hands-on. Will they be able to gel in time and work as a unit?
As they reach the Gulf of Mexico and unexpected things happen, the young agents start to question "Who can we really trust and who is watching our backs?"
To bring Perez in they are going to need to use all their skills and wit along with help from a variety of unlikely sources including an accidental hero, America's elite Special Forces and ...an unidentified species.
A sharp narco-thriller with a sting in the tail.
