Jake Hardesty in an old breed Arizona rancher, still living in the same adobe where his grandfather fought Apaches. But there’s an international war now on the bloody U.S. Mexico border. Drugs, and all the violence connected with them. Jake’s fifty square mile ranch is such a dangerous no-man’s land that 800 federal agents are trying to protect an 82 mile stretch of border, and failing tragically in a no-win drug war. When a small plane loaded with cocaine crashes on his ranch, Jake becomes the target of ruthless men, and sees first-hand the corruption and violation of human rights that the drug war causes. He and his two daughters are swept into a life and death chase that ends in a drug cartel fortress in México. But out of the carnage, Jake and his girls realize that legalization is the only answer to the drug problem. They dedicate a portion of their ranch as an educational center for drug victims and for political action to change an unjust prohibition. Apache Tears, the healing stones of an old warrior people, now become the symbol of compassion and hope in ending the suffering of the drug war.
