In part one of this two-part case, an above-board marijuana grower is kidnapped and brutally mutilated. Former Orange County DA Matt has a vehicle, a license plate, and a suspect’s wife willing to cooperate. But one major problem remains—the mastermind behind the crime is hiding abroad in a country that won't extradite him.
If Matt and his team want justice, they’ll have to get creative. But can they outmaneuver a criminal with international protection?
