It is the immediate future and the drug cartels are winning. Enter the "Hammerheads", an elite armed force built on a merged customs and coastguard service. Stationed on offshore platforms, their mission is to halt the flow of drugs before they cross international borders. THE THIRD WORLD WAR IS THE WAR AGAINST DRUGS For the US Government it's a losing battle.

And hit them hard. They are known affectionately in the business as Hammerheads.
