It's Friday night in Asunción and the temperature is 40°C. Víctor, a 17-year-old pushcart porter, dreams of becoming famous and really wants a cell phone. Fearing for the security of his job, Victor realizes that he needs to work harder to make money. He is offered the chance to deliver seven boxes with unknown contents in exchange for $100. This sounds like an easy job but it soon gets complicated. Something in the boxes is highly coveted. Víctor and his persecutors find themselves caught up in a crime they know nothing about.
