Directed by Jayro Bustamante. Executive produced by Zelman, Bustamante, Winslow and Diego Gutierrez. Produced by FX Productions. Logline: Spanning from the streets of New York to the poppy fields of Mexico, the jungles of Central America, and the White House, the series explodes the myths of the drug war through the intertwining narratives of characters on both sides of the Mexican-American border: an obsessive Mexican-American DEA agent, a young boxing promoter who inherits a drug empire, a jaded teenager who rises to power in the world of high class escorts, and an Irish kid from the streets of Hell's Kitchen who becomes a ruthless, international hitman. The series will follow these characters on a raw, unflinching journey through history, as they are pulled ever deeper into the drug war and forced to confront the limits of their humanity.
