Antonio Guiterrez - AKA Lonely - grew up in the USA but agreed to leave to avoid heavy punishment for his gang violence. He joined the notorious 'Autodefensas' in Michoacan, Western Mexico, the vigilante group who expelled drug cartels and police and took control of the area village by village.

He's been kidnapped by the cartels once already, but as the government tries to retake control of the region from cartels and Autodefensas, can he protect his family and his region? Is he motivated by taking care of his fellow villagers, or is he just in it for revenge?
