A tense, morally murky jungle drama about isolation, betrayal, and survival where civilization's rules dissolve into primal conflict.

A smuggler lives far from civilization, in a hut in the jungle with his wife, La Choca, his son and his sister-in-law Flor. One day some men arrive, who accuse him of having betrayed them.
