In the 1970s and '80s, friends Willy Falcon and Sal Magluta leave humble beginnings behind as they allegedly ascend to the top of Miami's drug trade.

As the authorities close in, the "Cowboys" are left with three options: flee, flip or face the music. But Willy and Sal won't go down so easily.

As their high-profile trial begins, Willy and Sal attempt to neutralize witnesses against them in a variety of ways — some legal, others not so much.

In the wake of a stunning verdict, questions arise about the jury's credibility, and one juror in particular soon adopts a very creative legal defense.

Sal takes uncharacteristically desperate measures in the face of new federal charges, an unearthed paper trail and increasing pressure on a confidant.

As Sal has his day in court — again — Willy decides to go his own way. After two decades, can the government finally make the charges stick?
