The Dance of the Scorpions

Jerry Rivera and Max Luna were best friends as children. But a dark moment in their past means that they are bound by something more than their childhood adventures.

Max tries to get as far away from the incident as possible. He moves away and graduates from college, but Jerry spends his early twenties in state prison. When he gets out, he relies on his friend to help him get back on his feet, but it's not as easy as it seems. Jerry may have left prison, but there are those who think they can use his parole to control him.

Drug kingpin Mike Cotton wants revenge on the man who murdered his mother. He thinks that Jerry is the right person for the job. Mike makes it clear that ignoring his offer would be certain death, and going to the police is not an option either-he'd just be wasting his time.

Jerry, who knows for certain he would be killed if he went back to prison, turns to his friend Max for help. The two men will have to find a way to outwit Mike and do the right thing in a dangerous world.
