Synopsis

Real world hustlers control the underworld economy. From human trafficking to fake pharma, this dark and seedy world has players on every level. Each vies to take the top spot in their respective niche. Shadow Kings & Queens profit off illegal trades across the globe: ghost guns sell to individuals who want to stay off the law's radar, cartels trade humans across border for cash, organ traders use India's desperate population for their own profit, kitchen scientists make pseudo-pharmaceuticals by hand, knock-off artists produce products they feel rival their namesakes, money laundering runs rampant in Mexico, and New York party-goers find comfort in bootleg alcohol.
