Miss Bala follows a beauty contest winner who is forced to work for a crime boss after she witnesses a murder. Gina Rodriguez (Annihilation, Jane the Virgin) plays Gloria Meyer, who finds herself a pawn in a dangerous game being played by the CIA, the DEA, and a charismatic young crime boss named Lino (Ismael Cruz Cordova). Gloria finds a power she never knew she had when she is drawn into the dangerous world of cross-border crime, and surviving will require all of her cunning, inventiveness, and strength.
