Ana Belen was the youngest out of three siblings and from her early days she was the cutest of them all. Ana was the only girl, reason why both her mother and father spoiled her. When she was 8 years old, Ana Belen knew her destiny was to become a beauty queen. It all started as a game that turned more serious over the years, first, elementary school queen, then high school queen, town fairs, regional fairs. When she was about to win the beauty pageant that chose “Mrs. San Martin”, Mrs. Beatriz Elisa who was a bit short on cash has no other choice but to look for a sponsor, and she goes to the man of the moment, Rodriguez Gacha. Mrs. Beatriz Elisa is then forced to pay the price for his help and she must become a drug mule. Ana Belen arrives at the United States with her entrails filled with white dust and with that she wins a ticket straight to prison. Her fantasy world, the palaces, gentlemen, it all comes crumbling down and soon she starts using the same dust she was carrying inside her.

SYNOPSIS
“Gacha” one of the heads of the Medellin Cartel, at the height of his criminal career he was acknowledged as one of the world's most successful drug dealers. In 1988, Forbes Magazine included him in their annual list of the world's billionaires; this is his story… Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha – “Gacha” leaves his home town with his pride hurt when the woman he has set his eyes on accuses him of being a liar for having given her a rock pretending it was an emerald. In the emerald mines Gacha finds a legitimate emerald stone, that instead of taking it to the object of his affection; he cashes it in to buy his first shipment of marihuana from Colombia´s northern peninsula of the “Guajira”. Acknowledging the business in front of his eyes Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha understands that the drug market within the United States can only be satisfied by setting up an industrial chain originating in Colombia´s oriental region. In less than 5 years this chain becomes the nucleus of a multinational cocaine sales operation with global reach. The size and the strength of the expansion of the trades contaminate and enrage other inhabitants of Colombia´s Oriental region, among them the communist guerrilla. The scenery that follows is the war between privately funded armies and those financed by Rodriguez Gacha and the subversives. In this illegal war the government is also present, part of it corrupted and the other part has to enforce the law and face one of the richest and deadliest men in the world.
