EZ’s character is described as “the gifted son of a proud Latino family, whose American dream was snuffed out by cartel violence. Now, his need for vengeance drives him toward a life he never intended and can never escape.”
Pardo joins a cast that includes Edward James Olmos as EZ’s father, Clayton Cardenas as EZ’s brother Angel, and John Ortiz as Esai “Taino” Osorio, President of the San Padres Mayans MC charter.
