Puerto Rico, a small island in the Caribbean with a population of four million, is the only US territory where Spanish is the main language. With its strategic location between South and North America, Puerto Rico has become the main port of entry of illegal drugs into the United States east coast. Thieves and Liars follows the story of three different families, each in its own way affected by the giant wave of corruption and crime that has infiltrated every level of Puerto Rican society.
