CIA counterterrorism officer Randall Betts is at a crossroads in his life; his value to his employer of over 30 years is in question, and his wife of over twenty years is divorcing him. In the midst of deciding whether or not to try something new in the intelligence world, Betts’ teenage daughter is kidnapped, and the facts lead back to a dark, dangerous place where he served long ago. Urged by his estranged wife, Betts launches into a world of organized crime and drug lords with no mercy and little regard for human life. Defying the call to be calm and patient, Betts relies on both friend and foe in a desperate effort to get his daughter back. The government won’t help him, and his friends can’t help him, but Betts uses all of his strength and smarts to mount an effort to take down the people holding his daughter. The human traffickers holding Betts’ daughter don’t know about the power and determination of someone with nothing to lose, but they’ll find out the hard way. This is a story of the horrors of trafficking human beings, mainly children, into a life of servitude, depravation, and certain death
