## Synopsis

ZeroZeroZero (2020) is an Italian crime drama miniseries created by Leonardo Fasoli, Mauricio Katz and Stefano Sollima for Sky Atlantic. Adapted from the bestselling book by Roberto Saviano, it is an eight-episode limited series that follows several interlocking threads across the global cocaine trade. Andrea Riseborough plays Emma Lynwood and Dane DeHaan plays Chris Lynwood, while Giuseppe De Domenico plays Stefano La Piana, Harold Torres plays Manuel Contreras and Adriano Chiaramida plays Don Damiano La Piana, and their paths cross as the drug pipeline moves from Mexican trafficking routes to European markets. Each episode widens the frame, tracing how money, product and people pass through ports, cartels, family businesses and compromised law enforcement. The tone is cold, tense and unsparing, with a documentary-leaning scope and moral ambiguity running through every storyline. Fans of Narcos, Gomorrah and Traffic will find resonance in its sprawling, morally compromised view of organized crime and its global reach. The series is grounded and violent, rendered with a sense of scale that makes the trade feel vast and difficult to escape.
