"Wanted: Women to traffic drugs.  That's the job.  There's cash, international travel, a chance to make it big.  Risks include violence, betrayal, incarceration, death."

Set in 1996, Mules is a 'no holds barred' tale of disparate (and at times, desperate) young women who get caught up in the international drug trade as "mules" (drug couriers), whether as a means of escaping poverty or as a way to acquire wealth and power in a world where they are excluded.
