Mocro Maffia

Three friends rise through the ranks of Amsterdam's criminal underworld, reshaping the city’s cocaine trade as they gain influence. What begins as a tight bond among streetwise allies soon draws them deeper into a dangerous game where money talks and rivals walk. The trio climb from small-time schemes to larger operations, using wit and nerve to stay one step ahead of the police and rivals alike. Yet the pressure of power exposes cracks in loyalty and trust. Jealousy and competing ambitions push their alliance toward a breaking point, turning former comrades into wary enemies who can no longer rely on each other. Each new twist raises the stakes for everyone involved.
