In the mid-1970s, the newly formed DEA recruits two Mexican-American street cops: Kiki Camarena and Hector Berrellez; Kiki is assigned to Guadalajara, home turf of the Guadalajara Cartel, while Hector targets cartel operations in Los Angeles.
After Kiki's murder, Hector gets reassigned to Mexico where he leads DEA agents and Mexican soldiers into a deadly shootout; DEA authorities put Hector in charge of the investigation into Kiki's murder.
Hector receives eyewitness accounts of Kiki's kidnapping, torture and murder, which took place in a hacienda where Mexican government officials were present.
Hector identifies the Cuban who interrogated Kiki as a veteran CIA operative who also played a key role in the Iran-Contra scandal.
