The story of Lord of the skies follows Aurelio Casillas’ journey in
his efforts to become the leading, and only, drug dealer in Mexico in the '90s,
taking Pablo Escobar’s place in the region.
To do so, he must overcome all sorts of
obstacles, in a whirlwind of action, emotions, unbridled passions, luxuries,
intrigue, and betrayal. However, Aurelio’s only obstacle is Marco Mejia, a
police officer from Mexico with the goal of capturing him. Mejia who lost his father because of
Aurelio, manages to make Casillas face revealed by the press and the news
media.
After the appearance of his picture in
the press, Casillas, whose fleet of 27 aircraft he used to transport drugs, earned him the nickname "The Lord of the Skies", decides to
undergo a risky plastic surgery to change his face and disappear without a
trace, putting the lives of his beloved Ximena and their children at risk.
After several months, Marco manages to make Aurelio fall,
confiscating his land, mansions and jewels. Aurelio, after being cornered,
decides to have a face operation, in which he supposedly dies, thus causing his
empire of power to fall.

children, Rutila (Carmen Aub), Heriberto (Ruy Senderos) and Luz Marina (Gala

in all his illicit businesses.
