An eight-year stint in prison and sharing a cell with Eddie Jaramillo, a Cartel cocaine smuggler who once worked for El Chapo, has him rethinking his life choices. Convinced by Eddie that there is easy money to be made in Miami if the two of them team up, John leaves prison and heads to the Sunshine State, ready to be his own boss for once. Things in Miami are more complicated, though, than Eddie made them seem. Staying one step ahead of the law and their competition requires paying off officials and gaining the trust and support of La Fantasma, The Ghost, a woman who has survived in a man’s world and risen to be the ultimate force to be reckoned with in the drug smuggling game. Dealing with their competition has left The Butcher with more bodies than ever to dispose of through his own unique methods. Worse, is the growing realization that he is hemmed in on every side. Being hunted by a joint DEA-FBI task force led by two agents with an axe to grind against Eddie and him, threatened by the mafia for interfering in their local business, betrayed by those in his inner circle, and realizing that he and his new business associate share different goals and values has him wondering: is there anyone in Miami he isn’t going to have to kill?
