What is Venganza about?

Carlos Estrada, a decorated Mexican special-forces veteran, watches his life collapse when his wife is murdered by a ruthless criminal network. A sudden windfall gives him the resources to reinvent himself as Capitán Toro, arming a private strike team of former soldiers to hunt down everyone responsible, no matter the cost.
