ROSARIO TIJERAS Latin Cinema Series

They say she kisses her victims right before killing them. They say she has killed more than 200 people. She is the queen of all assassins. This is the legend of the woman known as Rosario Tijeras, the sexy and brutal killer for the Columbian drug cartels.

Antonio and Emilio live in a world of pounding music and copious amounts of cocaine. When the two friends both fall for Rosario, it sets them down a path that will be strewn with bodies in their wake. All the while, Rosario is struggling to maintain her identity — she is a tool of the cartels, not the property of them.

Eventually, the fast world of drugs and murder for hire will spin out of control for these three, and only then will they realize what is truly important and what has forever been lost. Like Rosario says, it is always harder to love someone than to kill them.
