SYNOPSIS

Europe’s Southern border. A land of contraband. Lots of money within reach for anyone brave enough to cross the almost nonexistent distance between the two continents and to fly over the waves, loaded down with hashish and with the police on their tail. Challenging the authority of the local drug lords, “El Niño” and “El Compi” decide to do it on their own. The money starts to flow at almost the same speed as the adrenaline, just as their own little story is about to cross paths with something really big. Jesus and Eva, from the Spanish police, are investigating the network of an English drug lord who runs his operation out of his safe haven in Gibraltar. With his mole inside the security forces, the smuggler has been able to stay one step ahead of the police up till now, and “El Niño” could be his last trump card for winning the game.
