The series kicks off by introducing us to Sergio Jadue (played with nervous energy by Andrés Parra), a small-town Chilean football club president. Episode 1 serves as an origin story, showing how a seemingly insignificant man found himself at the center of a multi-million dollar bribery conspiracy.
The episode cuts to a luxury hotel in Miami. CONMEBOL executives, including Leoz and (Paraguay’s representative), are meeting with Full Play (a sports marketing company) and Traffic Group (Brazilian media conglomerate). They’re carving up broadcasting rights for the Copa América and Libertadores.
