A true story unfolds as Sharon, accompanied by an enigmatic partner, embarks on a journey to Bolivia, which takes a dramatic turn when she's wrongly accused of smuggling 10 kilos of cocaine and subsequently imprisoned in Bolivia's notorious penal system.

Inspired by a true story, a young woman was accused of smuggling cocaine in Bolivia and imprisoned. She became the most famous woman in the country after news stations picked up the story. While in prison, she had a tumultuous affair with the head of the Bolivian drug cartel, who was in the adjacent men's jail. She used her connection to become the biggest drug dealer in the prison, adopting a seven-year-old orphan girl and bonding with a transgender woman. However, she became addicted to cocaine but recovered to care for her newfound family. A lucky break came when the Pope declared a "Holy Year of Mercy," allowing her to escape with her family to New York before her 26th birthday.
