Set in San Pedro Garza García, known for its opulence amidst the violence of Nuevo León, "Sierra Madre" is based on real events. Spanning nine episodes, it covers the 2011 Casino Royale attack in Monterrey, where 52 people perished, and the murder of two students at the Tecnológico de Monterrey during a clash between the military and hitmen. The series focuses on the Parra family, whose children vie for control of their father's businesses while maintaining their affluent image. Meanwhile, the rest of the state is embroiled in a war against organized crime, which the wealthy can afford to ignore.
