fter seven years in prison for murder and armed robbery, Oso is released. A man of few words, with a heavy gaze and quiet anger in his eyes—no one knows what he hides behind his silence. Prison has changed him, or perhaps merely revealed who he always was: a man driven to violence, with neither past nor future.

On parole, he tries to start over. Yet he is still haunted by an unresolved debt from an old robbery and friendships that have long soured. Through a former cellmate, he is introduced to Güemes, who offers him a job as a taxi driver—the first step toward a new life. Oso wants to reclaim his wife, who has since sought refuge with another man, and his daughter, who barely remembers him. But the world outside has changed, and Oso has not. In the labyrinth of Buenos Aires suburbs, his personal revenge transforms into a journey toward redemption. A raw and disillusioned urban western, following the fate of a man seeking justice—and himself—in a place where there is no room for mercy.
