Six-part saga telling the beyond-belief true story of how two high school dropouts became the most powerful drug kingpins in Miami. From Billy Corben, director of the 2006 documentary Cocaine Cowboys.

The South Florida traffickers were indicted in one of the largest drug cases in US history. Alleged to be the chief US distributors for two of Colombia’s biggest cartels, Cuban exiles Augusto “Willy” Falcon and Salvador “Sal” Magluta were accused of smuggling over 75 tons of cocaine into the US in the 1980s. The high school friends built a reputed $2 billion empire that made Willy and Sal, aka “Los Muchachos,” two of Miami’s biggest celebrities.

While law enforcement plotted their takedown, the world champion powerboat racers managed to skillfully outrun and outmaneuver prosecution for decades before the chase finally came to an end.
