Juan is in prison and is granted a temporary release to attend his daughter Estrella's communion. When he arrives in his neighbourhood, Las 3000 Viviendas in Seville, he realises the violence in the streets. The death of his daughter on the day of her communion uncovers a web of police corruption and drug trafficking.

Eli is a female police inspector and she will be in charge of handling the case of the girl's death but she will have to fight against both the mistrust of her colleagues and Juan, who has decided to take the law into his own hands.
