Just when he thinks he's clear of the meth business, Lyle Villines gets busted cold cooking for a friend. After his arrest, he's approached by a DEA agent who wants him to work as an informant - and take down someone high up in a Mexican cartel. It's a tall order for a small-time player like Lyle, but one he can't refuse. If he doesn't do it, he'll only be seeing his kids during prison visiting hours.

Moving deeper undercover than ever, Lyle Villines now works as a major meth distributor directly for infamous Mexican cartel leader Chapo Guzmán. And the deeper he gets, the more he wants out. Taking over a territory and running drugs through the flatlands of Kansas is only the beginning, though. Someone's gunning for Lyle...and hard. Someone who can afford to send teams of trained siccarios - Mexican hit men - to attack him and his operation. Someone who can find him, no matter where he is and will stop at nothing to see him dead.
