Esta es la curiosa fabula de Miguel “Cachondo” Sanabria, un luchador mujeriego, sinvergüenza y fracasado, quien después de dejar embarazada a la hija de un narco-diputado de Culiacán, se vera envuelto en una aventura escalofriante. Una aventura que lo llevara de camino a California en busca de su libertad y de hacer realizar un sueño: pelear en el Olympic Auditórium de Los Angeles.
When Miguel “Cachondo” Sanabria, a womanizing, playboy wrestler, impregnates the daughter of the town’s most powerful and ruthless drug dealer, he finds himself involved in the most chilling – and hilarious – adventure of his life: an adventure that takes him from Mexico to Los Angeles in search of freedom and his dreams.
