Pérez-Reverte stated that “it has been a exciting challenge to create for TV the character of a drug dealer of the XXIst century, a story that hadn’t been told until now. The portrait of a new generation of dealers, facts, not in the violent world of shootings, loads and crossing borders, but in the offices of the of high international finances, in the boards of bank stakeholders and luxury hotels”.
This is the first time that Pérez-Reverte writes an original script for television, and it will be a story related with the life of a Mexican executive, educated in Japan, who will become a sophisticated white-collar drug dealer, with more hackers than gunmen.
