In Isla Maciel, a Buenos Aires neighborhood rife with drug trafficking, "el galgo, " a disgraced former hitman for "la madrina, " is released from prison and struggles to survive through petty theft. One night, an opportunity arises: la madrina’s gang offers him a lowly job as a gatillero—shooting at a business to intimidate its owner. Though the task is beneath his once-feared reputation, he accepts, driven by desperation and the hope of regaining favor with his former boss.
But in a corrupt neighborhood, nothing is as it seems. What begins as a simple job quickly spirals into chaos and betrayal, turning into a race against time and his own fate. Based on a true story, this gripping tale unfolds in real time through a single continuous one-shot sequence, filmed on location in the real Isla Maciel.
