Mays, Alon AboutboulIn den frühen 1980er Jahren überschwemmt eine regelrechte Kokain-Epidemie die Entertainment-Metropole Los Angeles. Dies hinterlässt auch bei den Einwohnern seine Spuren, die sich auf einem von Gewalt gezeichneten Kollisionskurs befinden: Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), ein junger Unternehmer der Straße, der nach Macht dürstet; der mexikanische Wrestler Gustavo Zapata (Sergio Peris-Mencheta), der zudem in einen Machtkampf in einer kriminellen Familie verstrickt ist; der CIA-Agent Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson), der versucht vor einer düsteren Vergangenheit zu fliehen und abseits offizieller Befehle beginnt, die Contras in Nicaragua finanziell zu unterstützen; und Luica Villanueva (Emily Rios), die selbstsüchtige Tochter eines mexikanischen Drogenbarons.
Los Angeles, 1983. A storm is coming and it's name is crack. Snowfall is a one-hour drama set against the infancy of the crack cocaine epidemic and it's ultimate radical impact on the culture as we know it. The story follows three characters on a violent collision course: Franklin Saint, young street entrepreneur on a quest for power; Gustavo "El Oso" Zapata, a Mexican wrestler caught up in a power struggle within a crime family; Teddy McDonald, a CIA operative running from a dark past who begins an off-book operation to fund the Nicaraguan Contras and Lucia Villanueva, the self-possessed daughter of a Mexican crime lord.
