Wealthy playboy CHARLIE MENDEZ is a violent rapist who thinks he’s above the law. When he’s finally convicted for his horrific crimes against women, he flees to Mexico.

As they begin to track him down they realise that Mendez has some powerful friends – a murderous drug cartel who enjoy making grisly examples of their enemies.

In a lawless country, Lock must take the law into his own hands . . .
