The next morning, after calling friends and neighbors, Sarita begins to panic when she realizes that Bea never made it home. The police are indifferent and unhelpful, but Sarita suspects her sister's disappearance has something to do with Andrés, Bea's dangerous ex. Taking matters into her own hands, Sarita infiltrate his gang, and with an unwavering determination, becomes increasingly involved with Andrés' ruthless, violent underworld of Guatemalan street gangs.
