S. border with a grandiose and militarized plan, Kelly is forced into another fight that has far-ranging consequences for U. S. border security. -- a breach on the US/Mexican border in a way that had never been thought of before. Kelly's nemesis from the past re-emerges to bring more havoc and mayhem to his life and the Southern Border. Along with his his partner and best friend (Ruben Garcia) and the new love of his life (Cristina Chavez) Kelly goes about taking on the biggest and most dangerous challenge of his life.
