Sky High The Series Plot/Synopsis
The synopsis of the series reads, “When her husband dies, Sole decides that the best way to take care of her son is to become a crime boss — even if that means being her father’s enemy.” In the series, to remain independent of her father, who’s a stolen goods trafficker, a newly widowed single mom, Sole, joins her late husband’s gang of smash-and-grab thieves.
Sole is devastated after receiving a call in the middle of the night about her husband’s death, who was also the leader of a gang of gangsters. Overnight she has turned into a young widow with a son to take care of and a lot of business problems to deal with, in Ángel’s absence. Although she has the option of going back to her father Rogelio, who is one of the biggest dealers of stolen objects in Madrid.
But Sole is determined to make a living for herself. While she is trying to unravel the mystery of deaths that have affected her life, she will find new allies along the way and might even make contact with the gang of aluniceros. In the trailer, she is seen gaining their trust to carry out robberies as ambitious as those of the old days.
But the journey to find her place in this thrilling crime world will not be easy, with the police behind Rogelio’s business and now Sole as well, as she is deemed as the main organiser in all of it. There are also rumours of a police officer who has infiltrated Rogelio’s men and might be onto her too. Meanwhile, the other mafia can not sit back and let others run the underground world and make her compete for what she strives to achieve – which is to rob a big castle.
