The current wave of kidnappings in Latin America inspired this tense suspense
drama.
Martin (
Jean Paul Leroux) and
Carla (
Mía Maestro) are a wealthy young couple who, after a night of club hopping, head back to their car to go home. However, three kidnappers --
Bubu (
Pedro Perez),
Niga (
Carlos Madera), and
Trece (
Carlos Julio Molina) -- are waiting for them; seeing how free they are with their money, the men figure that
Martin and
Carla should fetch a decent ransom for their release. The kidnappers demand 20,000 dollars to set
Martin and
Carla free, and
Carla's father (
Rubén Blades) struggles to raise the cash, with the criminals insisting upon payment in a mere two hours.
