The Hunter

Following a failed raid deep in the Peruvian jungle, an attempt is made on the life of the DEA agent who organized the operation intended to arrest drug kingpin, Jaime "El Pacho" Contreras Vargas. The agent is gunned down in a local restaurant and left for dead. But not dead enough…

After being evacuated from the country and recovering from his injuries, he returns to Peru with the single-minded intent of hunting down the man responsible for the attempt on his life.

His search takes him into the dark underbelly of "El Pacho's" territory, the infamous slum, Villa El Salvador, on the outskirts of Lima, Peru. Forced “off the books” to navigate a lawless labyrinth of danger and despair, he must rely on his wits and combat skills alone with no official support. His actions will ultimately lead to a very public showdown with "El Pacho's", a man of unmatched ruthlessness, known for his merciless tactics and iron clad control over his criminal empire.

"The Hunter" is a gripping tale of survival, retribution, and the lengths to which one agent will go to exact revenge on the man who tried to kill him.
