Inhaltsangabe

Along the border of southern Arizona and northern Mexico, a close-knit group of Anglo and Hispanic families struggle to keep their ranches alive amidst the depredations of drug lords and smugglers. Here, age-old values collide with gangs of hardened border criminals.
Ninety-nine percent of border traffic crosses American ranchland. Seventy-five-year-old Jim Kane's 7X ranch is right in the middle of today's border trouble. The people who come looking for work are trouble, but not a deadly threat. To Kane, the drug traffickers and the unscrupulous "coyotes" who traffic in poor people are the deadly threats to the nation.
