Escaping from his criminal baptism, Reynaldo Galíndez, called el Rey, breaks into the patio of the house where Carlos Vargas, a retired security guard, lives. Carlos proposes Reynaldo a deal: he will repair the damage caused and, in return, Carlos will not call the police.
A policeman relates an old case. A young widow, an insomniac businessman, a horse forgotten in a stable. The city as the scene of a trap.
