U.S. Customs agent Robert Mazur adopts the alias Bob Musella, a slick, high-rolling money launderer, to penetrate Pablo Escobar's drug cartel.

Mazur quickly gains the trust of Roberto Alcaino, a top lieutenant in Escobar's organization, and begins to uncover the vast network of dirty money.

He develops genuine, albeit dangerous, relationships with the criminals he's trying to bring down, putting his life and the lives of his family at severe risk.
