Summary

Twelve-year-old Pedro roams the concrete jungle of Caracas with his friends, learning how to live by the law of the streets. His single father, Andrés, struggles to provide for his son, working multiple odd jobs in order to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. But when Pedro fatally injures another boy during an altercation, Andrés realizes the imminent danger they face. Fearing retribution, the two flee the city and go into hiding, setting into motion a series of events that will bring father and son closer to each other than they have ever been before.
