Set in the fictional Mexican town of San Simon, Seis Manos follows three orphans, raised in the forms and philosophies of the Chinese martial arts, who set out on a path of bloody revenge and justice after the death of their mentor. Meanwhile the San Simon police and the DEA are trying to take down a drug lord, and find themselves on the same trail as the Seis Manos.

The series takes many cues from 70s cinema, including blaxploitation cinema and grindhouse films.

The series was released on Netflix on October 3rd, 2019.
