The year is 2010. The newest flash point is the 'Dos Laredos,' Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico connected by two international bridges and a rail link across the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo del Norte) to its sister city, Laredo, Texas, USA.
The Mexican drug trade is coming to an end, payoffs from the transportation and protection of illegal drugs north into the United States. It is being replaced by a more benign river of money, payoffs from U.S. and foreign corporations seeking access to cheap, unregulated labor markets.
Nuevo Laredo: A Prelude To War is also a story of Mexican-Americans living along the border, striving to keep hard won political gains. In particular a young student activist will put herself at risk in a demonstration turned violent.
Finally, it is Mexico seeking to regain the pride she once had in herself before the loss of half of her territory 160 years ago. Leading to a 'crossover,' the first since Pancho Villa crossed over into New Mexico in 1916.
