The SCORE Model: Practical NLP Podcast 78

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
