Synopsis

James Bond is on a much-needed vacation in Mexico at the home of ex-flying ace Jack Stone.  But his holiday is cut short when a hurricane hits.  As the storm ravages the community, a gang of thieves lies in ambush – they want Stone's safe, and will kill for its contents. Stone’s children, Precious and JJ, are kidnapped, and James must embark on a perilous chase through the jungle to rescue them and retrieve the stolen items. The clues ultimately lead him to the island of Lagrimas Negras, a haven for deadly criminals, controlled by the ruthless El Huracán.
            James will have to use all of his instincts and cunning if he’s going to outwit El Huracán and escape with his life.  But the only way off the island is through a treacherous maze, La Avenida de la Muerte – the Avenue of Death.  
            On this terrifying trail of greed and betrayal, only danger is guaranteed...survival is not.
