Synopsis

Mauro Hernández, a young undercover police officer under the command of his superior, finds himself involved in a cocaine deal in which, in order to make some extra money, he pawns his gun to pay for the merchandize. He has an argument with Joaquín, a drug dealer and an ex-cop, and he ends up threatening the dealer; however, when he and his partners leave, a gang led by Joaquín steals the merchandize. Mauro is injured, his bullet proof vest cannot withstand the impact of a ‘point’. The scandal due to the deficiency of the vests triggers an investigation for embezzlement of police funds that is exaggerated by the media and television.
