At the height of the 2012 attacks and counter-attacks between military police and organized crime in Sao Paulo, the lives of five people collide: a young man on leave from prison, his straight-laced brother, his best friend, a rookie cop, and a young actress with whom the prisoner falls in love. Set over 72 hours, the film weaves the personal, political, and cultural into an explosive mix that makes for a powerful cinematic experience.
