Antonia Scott stands out as a superlative intellect, reputed to be the smartest person alive with an astonishing IQ. Her rare genius opens the door to a clandestine and experimental police project where she is expected to assume the role of the Red Queen. Yet what appears to be a gift soon spirals into a heavy burden, eroding personal security and leaving a trail of loss in its wake. The series sets in motion when the son of a powerful tycoon is found murdered within a secluded mansion and the daughter of Spain’s wealthiest magnate is abducted, prompting the rapid mobilization of the Red Queen organization.
Facing the crisis, Antonia’s former superior, known as Mentor, turns to a disgruntled Basque police officer named Jon Gutiérrez. On the brink of removal from the force, Jon is drawn back into action to recruit Antonia for the investigation. What unfolds is a tense, cat-and-mouse dynamic that tests trust, capability, and the frictions between two brilliant minds. As the investigation intensifies, their professional alliance deepens into a complicated chemistry—one that blends respect with friction as they push through dangerous twists. Red Queen emerges as a stark and unsettling thriller where Madrid itself becomes more than a backdrop; it feels like a living participant in the action, fueling urgency, grit, and a dark humor that punctuates the pursuit of truth.
