With passion for the place, and brutal truth pulled from today's
headlines, political thriller THE HIDDEN LIGHT OF MEXICO CITY
illuminates the fight for Mexico's future. Mexico City attorney
Eddo Cortez Castillo's unexpected relationship with housemaid Luz
de Maria Alba Mora becomes a dangerous vulnerability when he
investigates links between the Minister for Public Security and
Mexico's most elusive drug cartel leader. But what Eddo doesn't
know is that Luz is trapped at the bottom of Mexico's ladder of
inequality, where broken dreams and family poverty have brought her
to the breaking point. As presidential elections near, Eddo's
investigation will uncover a political double-cross fueled by a
trail of blood money and drug cartels. With the help of a secret
police network, he'll follow the trail as it twists and turns
through a maze of smuggling and money laundering right up to the
Mexican border with the United States. There he'll find the beating
heart of Mexico's drug culture, where violence buys loyalty, votes
are for sale, the odds are against survival, and only a woman whose
name means Light of Mary can guide him out. Luz cannot help Eddo,
however, until she finds the courage to confront the social
structure she has lived with for so long in Mexico City and dispel
the supposed inequality in their relationship. She'll fight a
parallel battle of suspense and survival as a soldier in the war
being waged in the kitchens of the elite of Mexico City; a silent
class war with its own impact on the country. Immigration to the
United States may be her best chance for a real life as an artist,
but it comes with a higher price than she may be able to pay. When
the lives of Eddo and Luz converge, and the cartels discover his
investigation, they will both have to find the courage to survive.
If they do, the real battle will have just begun. Cartels and
corruption need the dark. Who will have the courage to shine a
light?
