What you need to know before your trail

Wade, a respected banker in La Jolla, CA, and his estranged wife, Fiona, make the unbearable decision to send their teenage son, Myles, away to an expensive treatment center after a streak of harmful behavior. After a year of treatment, Myles comes home, seemingly rehabilitated. But soon, he sneaks off to Tijuana to buy drugs― and is kidnapped.

When the ransom call comes, Fiona is frantic and accepts help from Andre, the Quebecois whose charity Fiona runs. Wade is wary of Andre’ s reputation and the bank he owns, but seeing no other way to secure a kidnap negotiator or the ransom, he swallows his doubts to get his son home.

In order to get the ransom money, Wade makes a deal with Andre― he’ ll work for Andre’ s bank in exchange for the cash. But as Wade races to rescue Myles before his kidnappers lose their patience, he realizes he’ s wrapped up in more crime than just a kidnapping― he’ s now indebted to a cartel.

Travel Guide

From La Jolla to Tijuana

The descriptions of location are not that important as the setting here is inside the life of family whose son is an addict. Even if you live in a posh place or in the middle of a fields, this shadow gets you and makes everything dark so setting is irrelevant.

The story of drug smuggling and drug barons is fascinating but hard to read about.
