Political struggle and volatile romance form the explosive backdrop to this epic series. Sangre Negra is the cross-generational saga of the Santos Family which is told telenovela style and combines the family drama of “Dallas” with the underworld intrigue of the “Sopranos.”

Set in modern-day Los Angeles, the Santos family includes Guillermo Santos Sr. (played brilliantly by Erik Estrada), the wealthy patriarch of La Familia de Santo; the eldest son, Guillermo Jr. (Ricardo Herranz) a slick and ambitious criminal defense attorney, and Ricardo “Ricky” Santos (Antonio McKay), the half-black, half-Hispanic illegitimate son of Guillermo Sr. The charismatic Ricky is an up and coming star in world of organized crime, and another talented actor, Christian Santos (Danny Arroyo) rounds out the cast as the youngest of the Santos brothers, a decorated LA detective dedicated to cleaning up the streets of Los Angeles, even if it means putting Ricky, his own brother, in jail.

The brothers are “the law, the lawyer and the lawbreaker!” When Ricky gets arrested- by his brother, the cop, naturally his attorney brother defends him. Guillermo is constantly trying to make peace between Christian and Ricky. This series features the constant battle between good and evil, and how the choices made will determine the path each character will take to achieve the American dream.

*** Update: brackets will be available to download online; however, fans will need to print out their bracket form and drop off the filled form at their closest Pluckers location to be eligible to enter the “March Badness” competition.

Pluckers is flipping the typical March Madness festivities upside down for a unique “March Badness” competition. The contest will only run online for the second round of the tournament, Thursday, March 18 and Friday, March 19, and participants will be asked to choose the losers of the games rather than the winners. One winner who correctly chooses each of the losers will win a $1,000 Pluckers gift card.

Once the Sweet 16 has been set, Pluckers will assign a special to the four lowest seeded teams. If any of the four teams reach the Final Four, Pluckers will feature that special during the Final Four on Saturday, April 3.

Throughout the tournament, from the first round on Monday, March 15 to the finals on Monday, April 5, Pluckers will offer $1 off 34-oz Michelob Ultras and Bud Lights for dine-in guests.
