In Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine, Gordon travels to South and Central America where he witnesses the illegal "cooking" process by which the drug is made, meets hired assassins and a big time drug-smuggler, is witness to the immediate aftermath of a cocaine-related murder and experiences the harsh reality of the 'war on drugs' by joining an elite Colombian anti-narcotics unit on a helicopter raid. Back in the UK, Gordon joins police to catch a dealer and coke-taking drug-drivers, witnesses the arrest of couriers on their way to a major deal carrying tens of thousands of pounds and handles 30 kilos of freshly confiscated cocaine at a police testing lab. He also reflects on the challenge of tackling the damage done by cocaine as he meets a UK dealer and a recovering addict.

The show focuses on the battle between cops, dealers and the growers looking to engineer some of the most powerful marijuana on earth.

The origins of the drug war in the United States, which spans five decades, and its unexpected effects on American culture, institutions and politics.
