George Jung è figlio di un operaio spesso in lite con la moglie che ritiene guadagni troppo poco. Non appena diventa adulto riesce in poco tempo a diventare il punto di riferimento negli States degli anni Sessanta per il traffico della cocaina colombiana. L'ascesa resistibile di un giovane che riesce ad avere talmente tanti soldi da non sapere fisicamente dove metterli in casa che viene catturato due volte dall'FBI e la seconda volta è per una condanna a 60 anni
