Darby is drugged, kidnapped, and sold through an international human trafficking cartel serving world leaders, corporate CEO’s, and even the President’s Cabinet. A puff of the Columbian drug, the Devil’s Breath, renders Darby utterly compliant, controlled by suggestion, and responsive to verbal commands.
