Ex-Special Forces operative Doc Alexander works as a fixer, upholding a secret truce between his old colleague, corrupt Governor of Oklahoma Richard Jeffs, and Mexican drug cartel head Lalo Prado, who helped get Jeffs elected. Jeffs breaks the truce with new tough-on-cartel crime policies, leading to the execution of Lalo's brother Juan during a police raid. Swearing revenge, Lalo sends his half-brother Cuco after Jeffs; Cuco kidnaps Doc's daughter Nell, demanding that Doc kill Jeffs and bring his head in exchange for her return.
