Illegal

Twelve year old Rush Pena is kidnapped by a hate group called the Alliance, where he witnesses the murders of three immigrant children.  He escapes and through his testimony the murderers are brought to justice, but not without Rush and his family becoming the target of every hate group in the United States for the next six years.    

The situation escalates when killings hit too close to home and the whole Pena family is dragged into suspense and intrigue. They, along with their friends form undercover investigations to root out the Alliance. During their investigation, they discover that the Alliance and a black hate group are working together to kidnap girls and sell them to the Mexican cartels.  Kidnapping, murder and rescues abound and as Rush must leave for his freshman year at Harvard, he discovers that hatred is not just limited to the Border States.
