Caco è un giovane uomo bello e orgoglioso, un capofamiglia e un uomo molto influente nella comunità in cui vive. Ma dopo la morte dell'adorata figlia è a pezzi. Si reca continuamente sulla sua tomba, piange in silenzio davanti alla sua foto e ha proiettato tutta la sua attenzione e il suo affetto tremendamente protettivo sul nipote ritardato Diego. Apparentemente suo padre, il fratello di Caco, si sta nascondendo dopo aver ucciso un membro della famiglia Caravaca, ugualmente influente nella comunità. Ora i Caravaca cercano vendetta e sono arrivati a reclamare giustizia da Caco. Quando si rifiuta di tradire il fratello si spazientiscono e, sapendo che non cederà, minacciano di uccidere Diego. A dispetto del suo orgoglio feroce, Caco finirà per rendersi conto che il circolo vizioso di assassini e vendette deve essere spezzato. Ma come farlo, riuscendo nel contempo a proteggere chi ama?
Caco is a proud, handsome man, head of a family, and very powerful in the local community. Yet he has been torn to pieces by the death of his beloved daughter. He constantly visits her grave, weeps silently at her photo and has transferred all his wildly protective love and attention onto his mentally retarded nephew, Diego. It seems that Diego's father, Caco's brother, is in hiding after having killed a man from the Caravaca family, who are equally powerful in the community. They are looking for vengeance and have come to Caco for justice. When he refuses to betray his brother, the Caravacas grow impatient. When they realize they are getting nowhere, they threaten to kill Diego. Despite his fierce pride, Caco eventually realizes that the cycle of killing and revenge must be broken. But how can he achieve this and protect everyone he loves?
