After 20 years away from home, Lorenzo Sanchez deems it safe to return to his village, where he has vowed to begin afresh and leave behind his life of crime. However, his community is not the idyll he remembers, as it is terrorized by a group of guerillas who roam the countryside raping, stealing, and murdering its inhabitants. Lorenzo is forced to adopt once again the persona of killer he was trying to escape, but this time it's different: he's motivated by the desire to protect the ones he loves most.
