In the quiet village of Pazos, Aniceto and his wife Irene seem like the perfect couple, until one evening she becomes the victim of a brutal attack during an apparent robbery. While she fights for her life in the hospital, Elías, a Guardia Civil sergeant convinced that Aniceto is the perpetrator, is confronted with a system that he believes ignores his warnings and refuses to protect the victim. Now that Aniceto is free and Irene's life hangs by a thread, the question is whether the truth will come to light.
