    • Manuela finds herself immersed in a dangerous game when her father, Don César, leader of a front business for an Arab drug cartel, is arrested. Determined to save him, she embarks on a desperate mission to obtain $200,000 and free him. Gathering his old criminal friends, they decide to rob a shipment of drugs. However, his daring attempt at salvation sets off a chain of catastrophic events. When the cartel discovers that Manuela has stolen their merchandise, Don César is forced to face the most painful decision of his life: eliminate his own daughter. What follows is a violent war unleashed between drug traffickers and tumbadores, where family ties fade before the harsh reality of loyalty and survival.
