Marcos, a Mexico City radical, is on the run, to escape the anti-terrorist net. He heads for the small town of Muérdago, and his rich invalid Uncle Ramón. To the intense suspicion of his cousins, all of whom are counting on the riches the old man’s death will bring, Ramón welcomes Marcos with open arms. And there are arms in the household even more welcoming than Ramón’s.
