A corrupt Mexican governor sets up dummy companies that collect the government's funds for sham public projects he's created. When a journalist discovers his scheme, and tries to expose his plans for self enrichment a killer is hired to murder the journalist. An ex-cop who is missing the adrenaline rush at his desk job and a friend in the federal Interior ministry struggle to keep her safe. The race to reach the journalist before the killer does leads them from Puebla to Ectapec, one of the most dangerous places in Mexico, to Cuernavaca. For the killer, to pull the trigger and send a soul to Hell, if you believe in that sort of thing, is easy, but this job is different.
