Storyline
Rita’s a lawyer stuck in a soul-sucking job at a big firm in Mexico, forever cleaning up messes for the rich and dirty, barely scraping by on her conscience. She’s sharp, totally overqualified, and let’s be honest, pretty fed up. Then out of nowhere, she gets thrown into the orbit of Juan “Little Hands” Del Monte—Manitas—a cartel boss with a rep nasty enough to make most people bolt. Instead of more murder and mayhem, though, he’s got something wild up his sleeve: he wants out. For real. Not just to disappear, but to finally live openly as the woman he’s always known he is. Years of planning, secret moves, all leading to this moment. Rita’s suddenly tangled in a mess that’s half crime thriller, half journey of identity, and the stakes are sky-high. Helping Manitas means risking everything—her career, her safety, probably her sanity—but maybe, just maybe, she’ll find her own freedom along the way.
