What's the plot?
The cocaine trade of the 1970s and 1980s had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once sleepy retirement community into one of the world’s most glamorous hot spots, the epicentre of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia’s Medellin cartel. By the early 1980s, Miami’s tripled homicide rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a Time cover story dubbed the city "Paradise Lost".
