Fabio, a small-time neighborhood crook, suffers years of mistreatment from Claudio, a local boss of the criminal underworld. When he is driven to desperation and the brink of madness, he carries out a terrible and bloody act of vengeance.

Fabio has just served eight months in prison for a crime he did not commit, in place of Claudio, a friend of his; former boxer, a delinquent of small caliber that aspires to become the boss of the Mandrione. Claudio manages various trafficking trades and also runs dog fights. Whenever his dogs are injured, he turns to his friend Fabio who, clandestinely in the back room of his dog wash, takes care of small surgical procedures and medications. The friendship between Fabio and Claudio is very ambiguous, almost sick. Claudio has a bipolar personality that sometimes leads him to act with extreme malice in comparison to Fabio that seems to suffer without reacting. All of this lasts a long time, until one day that Fabio, unable to bear it anymore, will decide to carry out his terrible revenge.

After taking the rap for violent boxer friend Claudio's crimes and serving an eight-month stint in jail, Fabio returns home. And eager to start afresh, Fabio picks up where he left off as a dog groomer and reopens his small business. However, intimidation, abuse, and humiliation pave the way for a gradual transformation, turning a quiet man into a monster. Now there's no turning back. Who can stand in the way of rabid Fabio and his rightful revenge?—Nick Riganas
