A gritty urban crime drama about a naive teenager drawn into petty theft and criminal escalation by a corrupting influence, exploring the desperation and moral compromise of youth in poverty.

The world of Salvador, a young and naive petty thief is changed by the arrival of his cousin Angel, an ex-convict in search of easy money, and with a hideout. Salvador gets wrapped up in Angel's twisted dealings in an attempt to escape from his suffocating family, dragging along his family and friends, in his criminal path. Where will this all lead?
