Forging links with the Cali, Medellin and Guadalajara cartels, Ballesteros masterminded a supply route into the US, which fed much of the cocaine and crack epidemic of the 70s and 80s. But when Ballesteros was implicated in the murder of a DEA agent, Mike Vigil was appointed to hunt him down. He would stop at nothing until Ballesteros was behind bars.
