He is charming, handsome, and always smiling—a true stunner. After killing drug cartel members and accidentally stealing their Bitcoins, Spike escapes through a tunnel in New Mexico state and is on the run from the cartel. Throughout the story, Spike is introduced to new people and becomes entangled in a web of special ops forces, dirty cops, and a potential lover.

In his pursuit, each character has his own agenda for the stolen money.
