Storyline
Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin' With The Godmother begins in 1991 with Charles Cosby, who is selling ounces of cocaine on the inner-city streets of Oakland, California. His life is changed forever when he writes a fan letter to the "Cocaine Godmother" Griselda Blanco, an unforgettable crime figure immortalized in Cocaine Cowboys who is serving time at a nearby federal prison. Six months later, Cosby is a multi-millionaire, Blanco's lover, and the head of her $40 million a year cocaine business. Also known as "The Black Widow" for her propensity to permanently dispose of her men when she's done with them, Blanco will stop at nothing to ensure that Charles is faithful to her. Cosby soon learns that he's in way over his head.
