A darkly playful Buenos Aires crime drama that balances witty irreverence with sinister stakes, centered on self-destructive talent and impossible choices.

Remo's self-destructive behavior overshadows his talent. Abril, an upcoming jockey, is pregnant with Remo's baby and has to decide between the child or continuing to race. They both race for Sirena, a businessman who saved Remo's life in the past but now is determined to find him, dead or alive.
