Plot Synopsis

Five Mexican-American cops of the Laredo Police Deparment Narcotics Unit protect the United States from the sophisticated and large-scale trafficking operations of Mexican drug cartels. Laredo, Texas, the largest inland port on the U.S.-Mexico border, is the premiere gateway used by Mexican drug cartels to transport illegal narcotics into the U.S. and export billions of dollars in cash to Mexico. In each half-hour episode, viewers ride along with Sergeant Sifuentes, Investigator Rodriguez, Investigator Moreno and the other officers of the Laredo Police Department's Narcotics Unit, as they work with confidential informants, carry out undercover missions, and execute raids in order to seize shipments of cocaine, marijuana, heroin and crystal meth before they can be distributed to cities and towns across America. Outnumbered and outgunned, they are a small agency fighting a big war. In the first season, the unit seized nearly two tons of illegal narcotics, with a street value of more than 12 million dollars.
