The Gardener (Season 1)
the Gardener follows the chilling yet deeply human story of Elmer, a cold and methodical hitman who runs a contract killing business with his controlling mother, La China Jurado. After surviving a traumatic accident that numbed him emotionally, Elmer is just a tool in his mother’s hands—until he’s assigned to kill Violeta, a gentle and idealistic schoolteacher.
But something unexpected happens. Instead of ending her life, Elmer finds himself drawn to her warmth and kindness. For the first time in years, he begins to feel something—love, guilt, doubt. As Elmer tries to understand these emotions and break free from his mother’s iron grip, La China sees Violeta as a threat and decides to finish the job herself.
Season 1 is a dark and emotional journey about rediscovering humanity, choosing love over loyalty, and defying the people who made you who you are.
