Ana is a single mother living in a violent neighborhood. Her teenage daughter, Lorena, begins dating a much older, small-time drug dealer named Chino. When Lorena becomes addicted and starts prostituting herself to feed her habit, the police do nothing. Social services do nothing. Ana watches her daughter die slowly. One night, she visits Chino with a knife hidden in her coat.
The show refuses to give clear answers. Is Cándida a murderer or a hero? Is Clara a monster or a survivor? The closing monologue of each episode—narrated by the character—breaks the fourth wall and asks the audience to judge them. This technique forces the viewer to confront their own biases about justice and revenge.
