Magallanes (Damián Alcázar) is a taxi driver and former army soldier. He also drives around a retired colonel (Federico Luppi), who was his commander during the struggle against the Shining Path subversion in Ayacucho, Perú. A dark secret begins to emerge when Celina (Magaly Solier), takes a ride in his cab. Magallanes remembers that Celina was held captive by his former colonel, and furthermore, he has proof of the colonel's crimes. Magallanes seizes on an opportunity to blackmail the colonel's son, setting in motion events through which the history of these characters will unravel, and reveal the atrocities of war.
