The plot follows Etta Tiger Jonze, a young woman who feels stifled in the Florida Keys and longs for a different life in Miami. When the drug trade her family is entangled in blows up into tragedy, she sets out on a dangerous journey through a city defined by its neon lights, its promises, and its dark corners.

The story follows a tense journey of self-emancipation: Etta must learn to survive in a criminal world that threatens to overwhelm her, all while discovering how far she’s willing to go to protect her place and her future. The series sits at the crossroads of family drama, crime thriller, and an ascent narrative on the margins of Miami.

M.I.A. is created, written, and produced by Bill Dubuque, an Emmy-nominated name already linked to Ozark. Karen Campbell, who has worked on Outlander, Dexter and Raised by Wolves, serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. The first two episodes are directed by Alethea Jones, who is also a producer. Gwyneth Horder-Payton, Mairzee Almas, Ben Semanoff, and John Dahl also direct episodes for this first season.
