18th Street Gang, El Salvador.
Ex mafia boss Lou Ferrante travels to El Salvador, home of the second highest murder rate in the world, where he infiltrates the 18th Street, a ruthless, multi-ethnic, transactional criminal organisation engaged in a bloody war with rival gang MS-13. To find out what motivates the on-going war, Lou meets their feared and infamous leader, Viejo Lin, and journeys to Izalco Prison in Sonsonate, El Salvador, which houses 838 of the country’s most violent 18th Street gang members, including many of its feared inner circle.
