"In 1895\, Antonio Sonoro is the latest in a long line of ruthless men. He's g ood with his gun and is drawn to trouble\, but he's also out of money and out of options. A drought has ravaged the town of Dorado\, Mexico\, where he lives with his wife and children\, and so when he hears about a train l aden with gold and other treasures\, he sets off for Houston to rob it -- with his younger brother Hugo in tow. But when the heist goes awry\, and H ugo is killed by the Texas Rangers\, Antonio finds himself launched into a quest for revenge that endangers not only his life and his family\, but h is eternal soul. In 1964\, Jaime Sonoro is Mexico's most renowned actor an d singer. But his comfortable life is disrupted when he discovers a book t hat purports to tell the entire history of his family beginning with Cain and Abel. In its ancient pages\, Jaime learns about the multitude of horri fic crimes committed by his ancestors. And when the same mysterious figure from Antonio's timeline shows up in Mexico City\, Jaime realizes that he may be the one who has to pay for his ancestors' crimes\, unless he can di scover the true story of his grandfather Antonio\, the legendary bandido E l Tragabalas\, The Bullet Swallower."
