Meanwhile, in Arizona's Altar Valley, a narrow, 52-mile-long desert corridor known as Cocaine Alley, Foley heads a small paramilitary group whose goal is to halt Mexico's drug wars from seeping across the border. The cast of the film includes Robert Hetrick, Jose Manuel Mireles Valverde, and Tim Nailer Foley.
