Reynaldo Galíndez (alias "Rey"), a young man, has recently joined a gang of thieves. During a theft, two of the other gang members, one of whom is Rey's elder brother, are arrested by the police while Rey escapes. During his escape, Rey lands on the patio of a house inhabited by Carlos Vargas, a retired security guard. Vargas offers him a deal: the young boy will repair the damage caused to his home in return for not being handed over to the police. The lessons given to Rey by Carlos give rise to a relationship not unlike the old legends of educating a king (for "Rey" means "king"). But the agreement soon starts to fall apart when the loose ends of the robbery Reynaldo had participated in start wrapping themselves around them…
