The journalist Virginia Vallejo is invited to the villa of the rising drug dealer Pablo Escobar , because he wants her to be his biographer . The two fall in love and Escobar becomes one of America's most successful drug traffickers. However, when he allowed himself to be elected to the Colombian parliament and murdered the incumbent Justice Minister, Escobar was increasingly targeted by the Colombian and American authorities.
Fearing for her life, Virginia Vallejo flees to the United States, where she is despised due to her former relationship with Escobar and struggles with financial problems.
Meanwhile, Pablo Escobar surrenders to the authorities on the condition that he can build his own prison. When they tried to transfer him to a military prison some time later, however, he escaped again and went into hiding. On the condition that his wife and two children, who fear for their lives, are safely and freely taken abroad, he wants to face again.
