A biographical crime drama tracing Griselda Blanco's rise from immigrant to cocaine trafficking kingpin, balancing her ruthless ambition against the moral and human costs of her empire.

At the age of 17, Griselda Blanco, made her way to the U.S. with a fake passport with her first husband Carlos. Living in Queens with her three sons, Griselda became enticed by the money the drug world offered, and quickly became embroiled with local drug runners. Griselda masterminded the use of beautiful women, the elderly and children as the mules and created false-bottom suitcases to smuggle cocaine from Colombia.
