Machado's character, Dolores Roach, makes a striking return to her gentrified hometown, Washington Heights, after enduring an unjust 16-year prison sentence. She finds solace in an old friend, Luis (Alejandro Hernandez), who provides her with a job and shelter under his empanada shop. However, when her newfound stability begins to waver, Dolores, known for her "Magic Hands," is driven to extreme lengths to survive.

The concept, originally penned by Aaron Mark as a one-woman play titled "Empanada Loca," transformed into a riveting podcast series that Mark wrote, created, and directed. Mark has also written the series pilot script, and he now serves as the co-showrunner and executive producer of the visual series, alongside Dara Resnik.

The production team comprises executive producers Daphne Rubin-Vega, Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, Jeremy Gold, and Chris Dickie representing Blumhouse Television, Dawn Ostroff, Mimi O'Donnell, and Justin McGoldrick from Spotify, and Gloria Calderón Kellett for GloNation Studios. Notably, the pilot episode was directed by Roxann Dawson.
