Roman doesn't want to be a mercenary. Carlos doesn't want to deal drugs. Neither wants to be trapped in the Ecuador prison, where no one gets out alive. What they want doesn't matter, though, because when you live in a world defined by animal greed, and the imperative of bloody violence, hope is just another four-letter word. Yet, when these two meet, they take a chance that if they change the rules, they can change their fates. They could still have meaning and purpose. To do so, they will have to fight, not just corrupted men, but against an entire system of avarice and contempt. Roman and Carlos will risk everything to find if redemption is as rare as hope, or as common as blood.
