Laguna Beach entrepreneurs Ben (Johnson), a peaceful and charitable
Buddhist, and his closest friend Chon (Kitsch), a former Navy SEAL and
ex-mercenary, run a lucrative, homegrown industry-raising some of the
best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with
the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Lively). Life is idyllic in their
Southern California town…until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move
in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head
of the BC, Elena (Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Del Toro),
underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and
Chon-with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent
(Travolta)-wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel.
