Plot summary
Gloria Fuentes and Suzu Ramós are best friends in Tijuana, where Gloria works as a makeup artist. The two of them intend to compete in the Miss Baja California pageant, and they think a word with Rafael Saucedo, the city's police chief, at a nightclub could help them. Gunmen attack the club while Gloria is in the bathroom, and when the shooting ends Suzu is gone. Gloria reports the disappearance to the police and rides along with an officer to search, but he leaves her in a remote area, where Las Estrellas, the cartel responsible for the attack, takes her captive. Brought before Lino Esparza, the leader of Las Estrellas, she is offered help finding Suzu in exchange for working for the cartel, since her American citizenship makes her valuable to them. Gloria agrees reluctantly.
