The series follows the story of the fictional drug lord Pedro Pablo León Jaramillo, a man who by necessity, chance and ambition has become the richest and most wanted drug trafficker in Colombia. Despite his immense wealth, Pedro Pablo has maintained a low profile over the course of his life and has kept his role as a drug cartel leader a secret from his friends and family. This strategy has allowed him to fly under the radar of the authorities for years, but has also inadvertently created a complex web of betrayals, loves and hates that grows beyond his control. As the truth is revealed, Pedro Pablo's world begins falling apart around him.
The series aired in the United States from 2009-2014, with the first season (2009–10) airing on the TeleFutura network, and the last two seasons (2012–14) airing on MundoFox.
In his hidden underground bunker, Pedro Pablo (El Capo), his wife Isabel Cristina, his lover Marcela, and four of his gang – his brother Nancho, Chemo, Perrys, and Tato – are hiding to escape the army. A cell phone brought in by Cristina receives a phone call, which is intercepted by a military spy plane, which is transmitted to a large military force encamped outside the bunker.
When the military discovers something very rare in the lake, they drop two bombs on the lake to scare the wildlife out of the area. The detonations also damage the bunker, causing it to be evacuated of all but Tato, who is injured and left behind. While El Capo and the rest move to a nearby farm, Tato is captured. When the group makes it to the city, Nancho persuades a terminally ill AIDS man, named El Moro, to drive a car bomb to the Senate in exchange for 200 million pesos for his family. Nancho fails to tell Juan Carlos, El Capo's son, about the bomb, who is killed in the explosion. El Moro's children are rescued from the explosion by Perrys and Chemo, who pledge to take care of them. They then enlist a nurse and help Tato escape from the hospital prior to his being transported to jail.
El Capo has Juan Carlos' body stolen from the morgue, and brought to a series of caves they are hiding out in. An informer has given their location to the military, who follow them there. It is revealed that General Moncado and General Sarmiento, who were with the military, are actually allied with El Capo. They escape into the caves and join El Capo's men. The military attacks the caves, and in the battle Chemo is killed. Moncada, Sarmiento and Perrys escape after the raid, with Perrys vowing to take care of El Moro's kids on her own. The military force is ramped up by the President, who is running for re-election.
El Capo and his band surrender, in order to protect the rest of his family. While in custody, several of the group are targeted for assassination, including Perrys and the nurse who helped Tato escape. When the President reneges on promises made to El Capo in exchange for his surrender, El Capo escapes with Nancho. In the ensuing chase, their car explodes, killing Nancho. Everyone also thinks that El Capo has died in the explosion. When she hears of his supposed death, El Capo's mother dies from grief. At his funeral, the police arrest Isabel Cristina and Marcella, but Tato and Perrys escape. After their escape, Perrys does not want to go with Tato, preferring to leave their life of crime and focus on raising her children. El Capo and Tato escape in a stolen car.
