Erin McKenna, a beautiful songwriter married to a crooked
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, is kidnapped by
Benjamin Armenta, the ruthless leader of the powerful Gulf
Cartel. But his demands are as unusual as the crumbling
castle in which Erin is kept. She is ordered to compose a
unique narcocorrido, a folk ballad that records the exploits
of the drug dealers, gunrunners, and outlaws who have
populated Mexican history for generations. Under the threat
of death, Armenta orders Erin to tell his life story — in
music — and write “the greatest narcocorrido of all time.”
As the mesmerizing music and lyrics of Erin’s song cascade
from the jungle hideout, they serve as a siren song to the
two men who love her: her outlaw husband, Bradley Jones, and
the lawman, Charlie Hood — who together have the power to
rescue her. Here, amid the ancient beauty of the Yucatecan
lowlands, the long-simmering rivalry between these two men
will be brought closer to its explosive finale.
