Welcome to Litsy!

The dramatic true story of two brothers living parallel lives on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border--and how their lives converged in a major criminal conspiracy. Jose Trevino was raised in Nuevo Laredo, a Mexican border town and major smuggling gateway. He grew up loving the sprawling countryside and its tough, fast quarter horses, but in search of opportunity he crossed the border into Texas. While Jose built a modest living laying bricks, his older brother Miguel ascended to the top of the infamously bloody Los Zetas cartel. Then one day Jose showed up at a quarter-horse auction and bid close to a million dollars for a horse. This got the attention of FBI agent Scott Lawson, who enlisted Tyler Graham, the young American rancher breeding Trevino's champion horse--nicknamed Huesos, or Bones--to infiltrate what was revealing itself to be a major money-laundering operation, with the ultimate goal of capturing the notorious Miguel Trevino.
