Forty years old Daniel is a conservative Brazilian man. He takes care of his father, a retired police officer suffering from dementia, and deals with his sister who has just come out as lesbian. He also gets suspended from his work in the police force and is under internal investigation for excessive use of power on a teen. Daniel is trying to make a living as a bouncer in a high-end club and the only good thing in his life is Sara, a young woman who he is having a virtual affair with on social media. When Sara stops answering his messages he starts fearing for her life. He decides to head north to her desert hometown to look for her, but nobody seems to know her, until a man shows up and says he can make the contact with Sara but on very specific and discreet conditions.
Be prepared for a dramatic suspense with plenty of twists and surprises.
