It’s spring break 1989, a time for fun and relaxation – but for one Texas college student, a week of sun and sand would turn into a nightmare. When Mark Kilroy vanished in the Mexican border town of Matamoros outside of a bar, the initial response from authorities was anything but swift. Local Mexican police treated it like any other missing person report, but for those who loved him, the clock was ticking. Mark's family, his friends, and a growing number of volunteers knew this wasn't just an ordinary case—it was something far darker, far more sinister.

What followed was a twisted tale of ritual sacrifice, drug smuggling, and unimaginable brutality and torture. As the days passed, the case grew colder—and yet, something far more chilling was unfolding in the shadows of Matamoros… something that would soon make Mark Kilroy’s name synonymous with a dark chapter in criminal history. Less than a month after his disappearance, Mark's body was discovered, along with 14 others, buried on a remote ranch. What happened in those dark weeks he was missing would reveal the horrors of a cult led by the sadistic Adolfo Constanzo.
