Summary "Tras la exitosa serie de televisión 'El Cartel' llegan Las Fantásticas, las hermosas y voluptuosas mujeres oficiales de los narcos. Hasta ahora nadie había contado cómo es la vida de la mujeres de los narcos, ni hasta dónde llegan aquellas sencillas jovencitas para lograr convertirse en compañeras de reconocidos delicuentes. He aquí los testimonios de las seis mujeres Fantásticas que inspiraron la serie de televisión.
"'Las Fantasticas' are women who rarely go unnoticed. During their time of glory, paraded at their husband's side, they travel in opulent vehicles decked out in the latest designer fashions and live in the lap of luxury. It just takes one second, one false move, however, and their entire life comes crashing down on them. Their man loses power, money and/or his freedom, and suddenly their golden dream turns into their darkest nightmare. Glamour and an affluent lifestyle give way to uncertainty, unease, and an inability to go back to a 'normal' life. 'Las Fantasticas' were always the "official" women. They were owed respect and subservience. They ruled the house, presiding over an army of servants that saw them as an extension of the boss. Never before had anyone told their story, had delved into their metamorphosis from simple, unassuming women into the partner of recognized criminals. The true story of drug trafficking as recounted by the wives of the top Colombian drug lords."
