The Power of the Dog

The war against drug traffickers laid bare. An epic, ensemble, and bloody thriller that explores the depths of human misery. The 1970s: the United States government launches a relentless war against drug trafficking in Mexico. Art Keller, a young Hispanic DEA agent, quickly gets results and takes down the local kingpin. A fatal mistake. The new heir to the drug trafficking empire is Adán Barrera, and both know how he got there. Chained to the same war are Nora Hayden, a beautiful high-class prostitute trained to drive men wild; Father Parada, a Catholic priest, her confidant, determined to help the people; and Billy Boy Callan, a taciturn boy, turned hitman by chance. Narco-cowboys, peasants, pure Italian-American style mafia, a pack of armed Irishmen, corrupt police, an informant with the suggestive nickname of "Mamada," and a miracle-working saint make up the universe of this epic, ensemble, and bloody thriller about the search for redemption.
