Rick Sage rides into war against a murderous Tijuana narcotics cartel after they behead his friend and kidnap his friend's wife and two young daughters. Determined to rescue them, Rick encounters unusual allies in a sword-wielding cult of women warriors led by Queen Calafia, the reincarnated mythical Queen of Baja. When Sage accidentally discovers the crystal cave complex where the Calafians have lived and trained for centuries, his warrior allies hold him prisoner because no man has ever been allowed to leave after learning their secrets. When word reaches him that his son Pedro has been captured by the cartel, Rick must somehow convince Queen Calafia that he is not a threat and they must fight the cartel together. It's a slim chance made almost possible when the Queen's sister, Princess Ana, befriends him. Even if Sage escapes from the crystal caverns, he must still fight the murderous cartel to rescue Pedro. Can he do the impossible, or has Rick Sage finally met an enemy that even Mexico's army and police forces have been unable to defeat?
