Brad Carter is lured into the underworld of cocaine trafficking and, in the face of drug detection, deadly jailbreaks, and impossible journeys, learns just how hard life can be. - Random House, Inc.
Brad Carter is down on his luck. He loses his job, catches his woman in bed with another man, and heâs days away from being booted out of his home. Wanting to get away from his problems, Brad and his boys go to a nightclub, where they meet a wealthy stranger who offers them each $50,000 to go to Rio de Janeiro and traffic cocaine back to the U.S.Â
They jump at the opportunity and have the time of their lives in Rio, but when itâs time to return to the U.S. with the drugs, all hell breaks loose. Brad and his friends are caught, and being in jail is not anything they could have imagined. With the help of a fellow prisoner with powerful connections, they plan an escape.Â
Brad is determined to find his way back to the U.S., but not without Diamond, the beautiful woman he met before things went awry in Rio. Can he rescue her from the clutches of Armand, the sick crime boss whoâs been holding her captive for years? He soon discovers that the web of criminal connections between Armand, his wife, and his associates are deep and dangerous. With the obstacles he faces, Bradâs journey to freedom may be impossible.
