In the stifling heat that envelops the corridors of a public hospital, "El Ciego" awaits a solution to his constant headache. He's a forty-year-old police officer, retired from the force, with no family or job, who survives thanks to his sister's weekly paychecks, although lately even that isn't enough. Then an opportunity comes his way: to work for César. Suddenly, he becomes a loyal and reliable employee who travels back and forth across the big city. Until a special assignment turns into a problem.
