Description:

In Caracas, a dismembered body is discovered in the Guaire River. Inspector Enrique Dávila is assigned to the case. But time is running out, as the army threatens to transfer the file to the secret services.

Meanwhile, the officer’s neighbor is worried about her missing son. Enrique receives a call: the hostage will be returned in exchange for a USB drive containing photographs of women.

Shortly after, Enrique’s partner suddenly disappears in a car accident. For the inspector, there is no doubt—it was a crime. But before he has time to prove it, he is assigned a new case: the murder of a young woman whose face seems eerily familiar.

Enrique soon makes the connection between the body and one of the women’s faces on the USB drive. However, the further he progresses in his investigation, the less support he seems to have from his superiors, while all the clues lead to an automobile factory.
