In the perilous, ungoverned zones of Nicaragua, Sam Harrington-former US Army Ranger turned visionary nation builder embarks on a bold and controversial mission. Along with his eclectic group of South African friends, they are constructing a nuclear power plant set to produce enough electricity to light up most of Central America. But this plant is more than just a beacon of energy-it's the cornerstone of a daring plan to resettle the Afrikaner people, who are fleeing persecution and the devastating economic collapse of their homeland. Though sanctioned by a narco-sympathetic Nicaraguan government, Sam's operation inadvertently strikes a nerve with the menacing Azteca drug cartel. Led by the ruthless drug lord Gabriel Perez, known as El Tigre owing to his obsession with exotic tigers, this organization is the wealthiest and most violent cartel in the region. With Sam's initiative obstructing their lucrative smuggling routes, tensions erupt into violence as El Tigre's criminal syndicate vows to reclaim what they've lost. With the walls closing in, Sam and his friends find themselves precariously trapped between the corrupt Nicaraguan government, the relentless and powerful US Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Azteca cartel. With few allies and the threat of El Tigre looming like a shadow, Sam and his friends must harness their resolve to protect their groundbreaking experiment from being erased off the face of the Earth.
Will Sam's quest for a new beginning for the Afrikaner people be the end of them all? In the wilderness of the ungoverned zones, there's far more at stake than just survival.
