When U.S. President Jackson Prescott lands in Bogotá for a diplomatic visit, he knows it’s dangerous ground.

Weeks earlier, he officially designated Latin American drug cartels as terrorist organizations and backed it with blood, authorizing air strikes that left dozens of civilians and cartel soldiers dead, including the son of Medellín’s most ruthless kingpin, Salvador Montoya.

Moments after Prescott’s motorcade rolls through the Colombian capital, all hell breaks loose. His Secret Service team is slaughtered in a coordinated ambush. The Colombian security detail is wiped out. Prescott barely escapes on foot, hunted, unarmed, completely alone in hostile territory—until he stumbles into the backseat of a beat-up yellow cab.

Behind the wheel is Mateo Rojas, a Bogotá local and former U.S. resident who wants nothing to do with the man now bleeding in his backseat. Just last year, Mateo was deported under Prescott’s hardline immigration policies, based on false evidence planted against him. He lost his green card, his job, and his American dream.

Now he drives a cab to support his wife and son, barely scraping by in a city boiling with violence. To Mateo, this president doesn’t represent freedom. He represents betrayal. But with the U.S. embassy obliterated in a second wave of attacks and cartel hit squads flooding the streets, Mateo finds himself with no choice: get Prescott to safety—or die trying.

Through shootouts and relentless pursuit, the president and the cabbie are forced into a high-stakes partnership neither wants. Everything changes when Mateo receives a chilling message from the Medellín cartel: his wife and son have been kidnapped. If he doesn’t deliver the president to them within 24 hours, his family will die.

Now, as President Prescott fights to reach safety, Mateo must secretly decide whether to save his family—or the man who destroyed his life.
