When teenage missionary Peter Parkinson witnesses a murder, his family and his best friend, Kasey, are launched into a world of drug and human trafficking that threatens to destroy everyone he loves. But he soon discovers the greatest evil lurks within his own heart.
Peter, the oldest of seven children born to missionaries in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, resents the idea of leaving the only home he’s known to go to college in the States. His parents insist he needs to leave the shelter of the familiar in order to discover a real and vibrant faith of his own. When he stumbles on evidence of a murder and reports it to the police, he launches his family and his best friend, Kasey, into a world of drug smuggling and human trafficking which threatens the lives of everyone he loves.
Peter’s temper lands eighteen-year-old Kasey in the hospital where they meet Esperanza, a sixteen-year-old victim of Hector, the same villain who threatens Peter and his family. The stakes are higher than ever. Esperanza is desperate to escape not only the vicious traffickers, but her own dependence on the drugs they used to control her.
Peter confronts his own darkest emotions and the consequences of his choices.
He must decide between defeating the cartel through powers darker than Hector himself or trusting God to provide victory through the love of Christ.
They meet on the salt flats of Salar de Uyuni – where heaven meets earth – for the ultimate showdown between good and evil. But the greatest enemy he faces lurks within his own heart.
Will Peter’s secondhand faith provide the courage to defeat a cartel, protect his family, and free the girl who has hijacked his heart?
