Synopsis

Edgar, a regular middle-class guy, is about to accomplish a politically incorrect dream, by attacking the oppressor from above - a corrupt politician - and the one from below, a violent criminal. Involved in the aftermath of a terrible accident, he crosses the paths of Walter, a college professor, and Julia, a young prosecutor involved with criminals, politicians, and fraud. Edgar develops and executes a complex plan, involving the very criminals and corrupt politicians who are in the pursuit of Julia and her dirty money, aiming to recover, somehow, the lives he has damaged.
