Oz AU ⟶ Recently released from Oswald Correctional Facility, Carmen “Chico” is hungry for answers as well as revenge. While most in Oz have bought the story that Manuel Alvarez simply vanished into the shadows after escaping Oz, Chico suspects that the truth runs deeper, as he's always believed that the implosion of Emerald City’s drug trade coincided a little too perfectly with the disappearance of Alvarez, who Chico knows was the one person never accounted for who knew as much about the drug operations in Oz as the authorities managed to discover. Having never bought the story, and now, armed with fresh intel, Chico sets out on his hunt for the man he once thought was a friend, a brother, and a fellow inmate.
Memories swirl as the truth unravels and past and present collide;
Years after his tumultuous undercover assignment in Oz, Detective Miguel Alvarez looks up from his latest drink to meet the gaze of an ex-lover he never thought he'd have to see again.
