Synopsis edit
Betty Jara, an experienced former member of the Senad who works as head of investigations under the wings of the Ministry of the Interior. When one of her agents is kidnapped by a criminal group, Betty tries to free him with the help of the new head of the Senad, Graciela Agüero, in charge of negotiating the agent's release in exchange for one of her own. Ruthless, Betty brings together the Yaguareté Command to execute a risky operation that becomes increasingly difficult when they realize that they are not just fighting a drug trafficking network.[7]
