Mexicali Clip #4
Joe, a retired special forces soldier, has hung up his guns and made his way south of the border to retire on an avocado farm owned by his girlfriend Estrella. While Joe is definitely a lover and a fighter, it turns out he is not much of a farmer and he and Estrella struggle to make ends meet, with Joe resorting to underground pit fights for extra cash to keep the farm alive and his workers—whom he his deeply loyal to—paid. But when he runs afoul
of some local cartel thugs, and they threaten the life of one of his employees, Joe’s instincts kick in and he kills the gangsters in self-defense.
The only problem is that one of the deceased gangsters happened to be the son of the most powerful cartel boss in the region. With the full force of the cartel bearing down upon them, Joe and Estrella are run off their beloved farm and forced into hiding, with the cunning underboss Baptiste and his muscle, Ruthie, in hot pursuit. Now the fists and bullets will fly, bodies will drop and all hell breaks loose as Joe finds a way to turn the tables on
the cartel, protect his family and take back his home…
