ZEAL unravels the extraordinary journey of Fernando Cardona, a boy forced to rebuild himself after the collapse of his father’s secret cocaine empire. When Ernesto Cardona’s network—spanning Miami, Atlanta, and the Pacific Northwest—falls into the hands of the FBI, the family fractures beyond repair. To save his innocent wife, Ernesto strikes a desperate bargain with FBI Agent Ken Scorsese. But the deal is violated. Marlene Cardona is sentenced to eight years. Betrayal becomes destiny.

As Fernando fights to escape the Cardona legacy, he is dragged back into a world of blood, loyalty, and corruption. From Colombian jungles to the neon-lit streets of Miami, his transformation from pawn to king unfolds through war, loss, brotherhood, and revenge. In the midst of all of this a higher power is at work in the hearts of many but each ones Zeal might keep them from answering this call. Read more
