More Spanish drug smuggling, this time in the town of Cambados in Galicia which is in northwest Spain. Sexual attraction gets people all crossed up. When a woman lawyer's father is assassinated she starts looking into his past and discovers that he was in the witness protection program for her entire life. She also discovers that he had another family in Cambados that he abandoned. Not being able to leave this alone she goes to Galicia and starts poking around and soon finds herself doing lawyer stuff for the Padins, the local drug smugglers.

Then we have the jackass of a cop who is willing to bend the rules as long as he can bring the Padin family to justice. The Padins are not nice people, but at least you know where you stand with them. This cop threatens people and lies to them in order to get what he wants. He is the villain in this show.

The drug smugglers use a combination of fishing boats and go-fast boats to ferry bundles of cocaine from freighters sitting far off shore to the beach where they hustle the bundles into waiting vans. The fishing boats are pretty safe, I mean they are out there putt-putting around on the ocean which is what fishing boats do so they are not going to attract much attention. They bring the bales from the far offshore freighters to closer in shore where the bundles are transferred to the go-fast boats.  The go-fast boats are the weak link. There are not many of them so if they get spotted by the cops, the cops are going to be after them, and the cops have some really big go-fast boats of their own. Kind of scary actually.

There are several scenes where we see the go-fast boats racing around these floating platforms. No explanation in the show. Seems they are mussel farms.
