A morally murky thriller about a corrupt lawyer's attempt at redemption through love, undermined by the criminal machinery he's entangled with.

Sosa is a lawyer who haunts hospital waiting rooms hoping to represent the victims of traffic accidents in insurance claims. When he falls in love with ambulance medic Luján, he tries to leave this dark business but the shady law firm that he works for won’t let him off that easily.
