Plot Synopsis

Based on Xavier Velasco's award-winning novel of the same name, DIABLO GUARDIAN tells the story of Violetta, a young woman who flees her native Mexico to start anew in New York City. But instead of a living a dream, Violetta is awoken to a harsh reality when she runs out of money, sending her into the arms of the villainous Nefastofeles. The story opens when Pig visits Violetta's grave and discovers a tape recording that reveals the story of Rosa del Alba Valdivia. Violetta narrates to Pig how she found the way to escape her mediocre life and head to the city of her dreams: New York. Meanwhile, the premiere episode reveals a glimpse into Pig's life, a young writer who lives with his grandmother and who tries to find a story that will bring his novel to life. Then, Violetta crosses the border with the money she stole from her parents. There she meets Eric, a handsome young Texan with whom she travels to New York. In between sightseeing and shopping, Eric tries to make it as an actor and Violetta helps him the only way she knows how: by cheating. Pig experiments with drugs and meets Sopa. His luck begins to change when Mamita confesses that she is sick. On Saturday, May 5, 2018 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Amazon Prime released the 10-episode first season of DIABLO GUARDIAN.
