Director Daniel Monzón follows up his celebrated hit prison drama Cell 211 with a stylish and engrossing action-thriller that will take you on a nail-biting ride from sun-baked southern Spain to heated Morocco and back again.

Jesus (Luis Tosar, Cell 211) is a motivated cop who is obsessively devoted to the mission of delivering a major drug-haul to his boss. Meanwhile, El Niño (The Kid - a heartbreakingly handsome Jesús Castro in his debut role) and his partner in crime El Compi (The Buddy) become involved with high-level drug-running to raise their living standards. These two sides of the law meet in scenes that will raise heart-rates to dangerous levels, while viewers are left wondering how they are connected with a mysterious man known only as ‘El Inglés’.

This Spanish box-office smash intertwines locations, characters and storylines at breakneck speed, bringing them all together again in one thrilling finale.
