In part one of this two-part case, an above-board marijuana grower is kidnapped and brutally mutilated. Former Orange County DA Matt has a vehicle, a license plate, and a suspect’s wife willing to cooperate. But one major problem remains—the mastermind behind the crime is hiding abroad in a country that won't extradite him.

If Matt and his team want justice, they’ll have to get creative. But can they outmaneuver a criminal with international protection?

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
