George Jung was the son of a construction worker, but he was unwilling to continue his father's career as a blue-collar worker. With dreams and ambitions, Jung came to California. The business of selling marijuana allowed him to live a comfortable and comfortable life, but Jung's ambitions were far from satisfying. A fellow inmate who once shared a cell with him introduced him to Pablo Escobar, a multi-billion-dollar drug dealer in Colombia.
Since then, Jung has become an important hub for Escobar to transport drugs to the United States. At that time, 85% of the cocaine consumed in the United States was shipped from Colombia by Jung. In less than ten years, he made so much money that he had to build a house to store piles of banknotes!
However, after obtaining great satisfaction in money and material possessions, Jung also had to endure mental torment. In the eyes of her daughter Christina, her father is always a dirty drug dealer, which makes Jung so miserable that no amount of money can make up for it. Of course, as a drug lord, he couldn't escape the legal net after all.
