One, two, then three young women are found crucified on the arms of majestic saguaro cacti in Arizona’s lonely and harsh Sonoran Desert. The clock is ticking on Deputy Angel Lopez to hunt down the killer before he strikes again. And have no doubt; he will strike again and again. The politically ambitious sheriff pushes Lopez to join a task force led by an inept and lazy senior deputy, a jealous FBI profiler whose sexual peccadillos lean to the bizarre, and the profiler’s ex-wife, also an agent, who is drowning her sorrows in a bottle and romancing the handsome Lopez.
To aid in the pursuit, Lopez draws upon his best friend, Lalo, a tainted border patrol agent, his wise grandfather who is a retired sheriff, and his grandmother, a kindly woman who practices brujería, casting spells upon the killers.
The chase continues across the Mexican border into a lawless land where the killer has every advantage, including the corrupt police who only interest in solving the murders is the mordito they stand to gain.
