Season 1 (2014)

The story of Griselda Blanco, a woman who as a teenager was raped by her stepfather. Griselda decides to leave home because her mother did not believe her stepfather abused her. Griselda joins a gang of criminals in order to survive alone in the world. Griselda falls for "Cejas" the first man who betrays her and thus was born "La viuda negra", a woman who murdered her three husbands for having betrayed her. Her ruthlessness and ability to sell large amounts of cocaine earned her the reputation of The Queen of Cocaine.[2]

Griselda has a second chance to live, but to save her son, who is sentenced to die in the electric chair, Griselda agrees to work with the American government and help end a dangerous drug cártel, whose leader is José Joaquín Guerra, alias "El Diablo".[3]

Griselda feels lost and desolate in love, until she meets her guardian angel, Ángel Escudero. This time, the widow will have to choose between returning to wear the crown as "Queen of Cocaine" or secure the future of her new family.[3]
