The VRAEM is one of the most dangerous places in South America, dominated by drug cartels and cells of the now-defunct terrorist group Shining Path. Two special forces agents are sent to the VRAEM to infiltrate a criminal organization and gather enough evidence to imprison its leader, a figure known as "El Marro." The mission becomes complicated when their work intertwines with their personal lives, and everything is put at risk, including the agents' very lives.
