In the shadow of Chilean economic growth, in a small coastal town where poor families live on illegal plots in the hills, the friendship of Yeka and Ana, 13, grows as does the fame of Pablo, 18, brother of Yeka and reggaeton singer. To celebrate, they organize a small concert for the community. Who would guess that in the midst of joy a stray bullet would kill Ana? But Yeka's sadness is overcome by anger when impunity covers up the crime. With the help of 13-year-old Maria, a schoolmate, Yeka traces the rumors until she finds the alleged culprits: a dangerous gang of drug dealers. Yeka seduces 11-year-old Lina, the gang's youngest daughter, and infiltrates their home looking for evidence, but what she finds about her prompts her to reflect on her prejudices: she finds a family that loves her. After all, justice is not as simple as it seems.
