The Far South is the new Far West. The action takes place along the US-Mexico border where two groups on the ground interact in two opposite stories.
The first group is the Arizona Border Recon, a militia that feel the US government has failed to adequately protect the border and have taken it upon themselves to prevent further illegal crossings from Mexico in the US. These is a group of heavily armed citizen that are inflamed by Trump’s rhetoric. Composed mainly by former military or law enforcement individuals they patrol the border, gather intelligence and push back illegal immigrants and drug trafficking.
The third group is composed by illegal immigrants, “coyotes” and smugglers that try relentlessly to penetrate the US.
