A gritty, morally murky true-crime drama about corrupt cops in 1980s Seville, built on tension between idealism and institutional corruption.

Angel, a young intelligent and kind, aims to be a police inspector. Rafael instead is an expeditious, forceful and arrogant policeman. Meanwhile, Miguel and Mateo are part of Group 7, a group of rogue cops ready to do anything to achieve their goals.
