In Washington in the 1980s, Bob Mazur is a federal agent who is used to carrying out undercover investigations.  He is on the point of giving up this dangerous profession when he is once more led down the same road for another important assignment.  Once again, he must adopt a false identity so that he can infiltrate an illegal drugs cartel led by Pablo Escobar, a notorious criminal.  In this task, he is partnered with Emir, who is well-acquainted with the habits of Escobar and his entourage but is not the most reliable of accomplices.  Meanwhile, an inexperienced recruit, Kathy Ertz, is to pass herself off as his fiancée.  It is Bob's riskiest assignment yet, and one false move could be fatal - for him and his far from ideal associates...
