Based in Los Angeles, California, young DEA Special Agent Harrison Lawrence, age twenty-eight, is the most selfless person anyone could imagine. Working for the Drug Enforcement Administration at the Los Angeles Field Division in the HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Task Force at such a young age can lead to a significant increase in the cartel's ability to recruit drug traffickers. When Harrison's girlfriend, Alyssa, dies of an overdose, Harrison must seek justice for her. With the help of his DEA partner, Special Agent Peter Saw, Harrison uncovers the Mexican cartel's drug-smuggling operation after dozens of street-level drug dealers, including homeless people, are killed after taking counterfeit opioids disguised as cocaine and heroin-when, in reality, they contain fentanyl and methamphetamine. The cartel's leader, Roberto Rodriguez, hires men and women as hitmen and hitwomen and trains them to sell products manufactured by a fake pharmaceutical company in Mexico founded by Rodriguez. Now Harrison, Peter, and other federal agents must try to stop Roberto, dismantle his company, and apprehend his dangerous workers. Harrison may be facing a life-or-death situation, but ultimately, it will come down to whether Roberto and his so-called dangerous supply-chain network are arrested and whether he is put behind bars.If anyone who sees this story being plagiarized by someone else, please send me a quick message as soon as possible.
