Cara de Ángel is a sensitive teenager searching for his identity, trying to understand what it means to be a man in a world marked by hostile masculinity. To earn his place in the neighborhood gang and prove his manhood, he joins a robbery; they plan to break into the house of a man they want to take revenge on. Driven by sexual desire, he explores his connection with Gabriela, a girl from the neighborhood he believes he is in love with, and with Jhonny, the lead singer of a punk band he deeply admires. His impulsive decisions, driven by hormones, lead him to betrayal and mark the end of his innocence.
