Jason Fox travels to Peru. He heads for a remote, treacherous spot in the foothills of the Andes known as Cocaine Valley, where hundreds of tonnes of cocaine are produced each year. Deep in the jungle, under cover of darkness, Jason meets one of the valley's most renowned cocaine chefs, who prepares pure cocaine in his hidden pop-up lab. Jason has to make a swift exit hidden in the back of a pick-up truck. Jason joins a group of young drug carriers on a dangerous trek out of Cocaine Valley. He also joins an elite police unit on a helicopter raid to destroy a jungle lab. But with the cartels quick to adapt and reorganise, is this strategy having any real impact?
