Nick, played by Hutchison, is an unfamiliar college student. When he and his brother travel to Colombia to surf, he falls in love with a local girl, Maria, who is the niece of drug lord Pablo Escobar. Nick thus entered Escobar's drug network and became one of his cronies. After the government's large-scale investigation and crackdown on drug trafficking organizations began, Escobar became more and more suspicious, and Nick's situation was in jeopardy. Benicio Del Toro's drug lord Pablo Escobar (Pablo Escobar) is a real person in history. He is Colombia's notorious "king of cocaine" who died in 1993 in a Colombian police manhunt.
