Synopsis

His little brother hanged. His mother swindled. Betrayed by his childhood sweetheart...the fiery young ranchero Juan Santos finally explodes, setting the seething Rio Grande border ablaze in a rage of vengeful justice that ignites a revolution, and an army of Texas Rangers and U.S. soldiers must try to stop him. Inspired by historical events surrounding the Cortina rebellion and attack on Brownsville, Texas in 1859, REFLECTIONS OF THE DISTANT FIRES traces Juan’s journey from an irresponsible, hell-raising young hacendado with a penchant for drinking and brawling to the charismatic leader of a violent uprising against American oppression and abuse following the 1846 U.S.-Mexican war.
