In a remote village in South America, a group of desperate men confronts the cruel reality of poverty and lack of opportunities. Among them, four outcasts are forced to accept a dangerous job to escape their miserable routine. They are offered a considerable sum of money to transport a shipment of nitroglycerin, a highly unstable explosive, along a perilous and winding route filled with natural obstacles.

Each slip, each adrenaline-fueled moment soon transforms into a desperate struggle for survival, and friendship is tested as the boundaries between madness and bravery blur.
Through breathtaking landscapes and relentless suspense, this journey becomes a critique of greed and human sacrifice, exploring how far men will go for money and what prices they are willing to pay. The tension mounts, not only due to the imminent explosion but also because of the uncertainty of who will truly survive this treacherous mission. In this hostile setting, profound truths about human nature and the struggle for dignity in times of despair are revealed.
