The Cali Cartel has established their NY headquarters in the Jackson Heights section of Queens where double and triple homicides are quickly rising. The cocaine epidemic is spreading across the U.S. and both legal and illegal Immigration are on the rise. One woman, running from her native Colombia and a traumatic past settles in Jackson Heights. Using the alias Katy (Kah-tee) Rey, she turns to cocaine dealing, go-go dancing and prostitution. When she decides to let her five year old daughter come live with her, the balance between being a victim and victimizing others begins to shift.
