Season 1 establishes patriarch Rodrigo Salaverría's iron grip on his empire and the arrival of his exiled daughter-in-law Valentina, who has spent 12 years in Miami building her own power base. Season 2 expands into Havana through the eyes of young DEA liaison agent Diana Park, who infiltrates a Salaverría affiliate and finds herself drawn to Valentina's cause. Season 3 implodes the dynasty from within as buried truths about the family's founding emerge. The series is anchored in authentic Afro-Cuban and Andalusian cultural texture — music, food, ritual — set against baroque visual opulence.
