Set in 1970 and inspired by true events, “Women in Blue” (“Las Azules”) tells the story of four women who defy the ultraconservative norms of the time and join Mexico’s first female police force. Only they discovered their squad was a publicity stunt to distract the media from a brutal serial killer.

As the body count grows, María (Bárbara Mori), whose determination to catch the killer, becomes an obsession. Gabina is played by Amorita Rasgado, whose father is a renowned cop. Ángeles, played by Ximena Sariñana, a brilliant fingerprint analyst, and Valentina, played by Natalia Téllez, a young rebel, sets up a secret investigation to achieve what no male officer has done and brings the serial killer to justice.
