Synopsis

In a world of deceit and drug cartels, a military past comes in handy. Surviving the mean streets of New Orleans, a teen-age boy runs away from home to seek the grand adventures he has only read about. When he lies about his age to join the United States Coast Guard, he escapes his troubled past. It isn't until a decade later he transfers to San Francisco where he immediately runs afoul and faces a severe punishment. In lieu of a court martial, he volunteers for combat duty in Vietnam where three of his friends are killed in friendly fire. Deeply mourning the loss, he releases his rage against an Air Force Officer's club and is punished with a less than honorable discharge. In a life changing moment, he begins a new career as an undercover narcotics agent and enters into the world of drug and human trafficking that is sponsored by a dear old friend. Undergoing torture when his cover is blown, there is nothing else he can do but pray to be saved.
