dirtmudd Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's 1983 and the crack cocaine epidemic is in its infancy in Los Angeles. Ambitious Lucia -- the daughter of a Mexican crime lord who sells marijuana throughout the city -- sees the burgeoning cocaine business as a potential moneymaker, so she manipulates her family into entering the more dangerous and profitable territory than pot. Getting involved with the new drug is setting her on a violent collision course with the likes of Franklin, a young street entrepreneur on a quest for power, and former Mexican wrestler Gustavo, who is caught up in a power struggle within a crime family. Also getting involved in the cocaine trade is CIA operative Teddy, who is running from a dark past and begins an off-book operation to fund Nicaraguan Contras. Oscar-nominated director John Singleton ("Boyz N the Hood") co-created the drama series and says he drew inspiration from his own life for Franklin's story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure..I hope this helps...find out more tonight.. In 1983 Los Angeles, 19-year old Franklin Saint watches his favorite wrestler, Gustavo '"El Oso" Zapata, lose a high-stakes match. Afterwards, Oso, who works as a cartel enforcer on the side, is given a new job by his contact. Saint also has a side job selling marijuana on his uncle's behalf, without his mother's knowledge. After CIA officer Logan Miller overdoses on cocaine, fellow operative Teddy McDonald learns that he was running a secret drug ring out of his mansion in order to fund foreign insurgents. McDonald covers up Miller's death, while Oso learns that the job involves committing burglary. McDonald asks his superiors to let him take over Miller's operation. Saint persuades a dealer to let him try selling crack in his neighborhood, but his uncle refuses to help him. During the job, Oso is forced to kill a man in self-defense. Saint's aunt takes him to her old boss Claudia, who agrees to sell the coke so long as he brings her more tomorrow. On the way home, Saint sees his homeless father walking along the street, but refuses to stop and talk to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if you're not sure either, that means I didn't miss the tie in somehow which is what I was afraid of. I'll try to catch tonight's episode at 9. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
