Overview
Ernesto, the most wanted mafia boss in the region, dies in a sudden accident, leaving his criminal empire without a leader. In the aftermath, his wife Regina, along with her mother, daughter, and sisters-in-law, are arrested as accomplices in his drug trafficking operations. Although most of them are released due to lack of evidence, Regina remains imprisoned simply for being the wife of the capo. When Regina is finally freed, she refuses to disappear into the shadows. Instead, she takes control of the businesses that once belonged to her husband, stepping into a dangerous world where power must be defended at all costs. But the risks are deadly. Enemies strike back, kidnapping and murdering her daughter and sister-in-law in an act of ruthless retaliation. Driven by grief and fury, Regina and her loyal allies embark on a relentless quest for revenge. Yet as the war unfolds, the new boss will face a shocking and unexpected twist that could change everything.
