Synopsis

So today we're going to go over the entire storyline because an opening without an understanding of what you're opening to isn't a really good opening. I haven't finalized on names yet so we'll just use the names of actors for now. First of all, I think I'll go with the first option from the previous post about Garrido's entry. He's an aging cartel don and he's starting to lose interest in the type of business his cartel runs. He starts to realize the simple joys of life bring much more happiness than the acute thrills of constantly escaping the cops and shootouts with rival gangs. His subordinates start to notice this difference in him but ultimately understand that Garrido still holds much power so they fear to dissent against him.
Now, enter Ben Ruddy. He's a teenage skateboarder trying to live in the nostalgic era. He carries his music on an IC recorder and listens to his music through headphones. He's skateboarding peacefully when he runs into Garrido's cartel having a tense negotiation with some amateur local peddlers. Now we start to question who Ruddy actually is because he's starting to set up equipment that a typical skateboarder doesn't just carry around. And he's sneaking up on the men, careful not to blow his cover, and recording their conversation. But then he gets caught by someone who was out back taking a piss and returning to the area of negotiations.
Later Ben is brought before Garrido so the cartel can decide what to do with him. But given Garrido's declining interest in the business, Garrido's actions start to confuse his workers when he actually decides to take Ben in to join him as part of his gang. The two start hanging out with each other more and more and the gang members start to become more and more annoyed. Issues definitely persist between them and some members start to notice Ben's actions and his sly surveillance of their entire operations, but those who gain too much knowledge strangely disappear soon (Ben takes them out). F
Now there are some minor plot points in between . . . but here's the final twist: BEN WORKS FOR GARRIDO. Garrido hired him to take out some of the black sheep in his cartel because he started noticing that more and more of his product was either lost in transportation or never reported to him after delivery. But you thought that was it?? Yeah that's it. The two have a final scene together where they both sweep up the gang of all the black sheep and spies together!
