Synopsis
The story takes place in the Azorean village of Rabo de Peixe, when a ton of cocaine comes ashore, completely changing the lives of the inhabitants. Eduardo, a young fisherman, and his friends start selling the cocaine. But, a ton of cocaine does not go unnoticed and our protagonists will face the owners of this drug, the police and a series of unpredictable characters in a dangerous adventure with no return.[4]
Sinking of Sun Kiss 47
The TV series is loosely based on a true story.[5] In 2001, a large quantity of cocaine was found in Rabo de Peixe after the 14-meter-long sailboat Sun Kiss 47 sank off the Azorean coast in June, carrying 505.84 kilograms of cocaine with a purity of more than 80%, worth over 150 million[6] euros at 2023's prices.[7]
Many villagers decided to try the drug.[8] As they were not used to it and the cocaine was very pure, a significant number of people ended up in the hospital with an overdose, and some even died. Still others were selling the product for a bargain price of 25 euros per full glass of beer. Years after the sinking, many inhabitants of Rabo de Peixe still remained addicted.[9]
