The life of the inhabitants of the Yucatan Peninsula has always
been one lived on the edge of survival. Unknown forces once drove
the ancient people from their lands, and the reasons for that mass
exodus remain the topic of debate to this day. Now, their
once-peaceful existence is threatened again, this time by a
thoroughly modern menace: the violent and unpredictable predators
of the drug cartels that exert ruthless control over the region.
These powerful drug lords have enslaved the Maya in a new war, and
they are forced to submit to the will of these new, violent
masters. They are given a choice: work for the cartel or face
brutal consequences. A proud people who honor their heritage above
all, they choose to endure the temporary indignities as the cost
that must be paid for their very survival. The Mexican government
is frustrated at every turn in their attempts to quell the violence
and stop the flow of drugs through their country. They enlist the
aid of special agents from America, whose efforts produce mixed
results. The lone survivor of an American task force is given a
veracruz, a "gift" from the Maya. It has strange capabilities-and
many believe that the veracruz is of extraterrestrial origin. The
agent returns home and takes a job as a homicide investigator in
Polk County, Florida-where he begins to use his mysterious gift to
fight crime.
