SYNOPSIS:

Paco (Antonio Resines) is a has-been hit man, past it and up to his neck in debts.
One of these is owed to Don Rodrigo (Manuel Alexandre), the Vito Corleone of the provincial city where they live, who is now tired of waiting to be paid and offers him two solutions: one, to shoot him; two, for him to teach his profession to Don Rodrigo’s nephew Álex (Jordi Vilches), a teenager who looks an idiot and seems to be good for nothing except to mess things up. Although tempted by the first option, Paco finds himself forced to choose the second one.

One of Álex’s mishaps is to include Tatiana (Elena Anaya) in the group, a young prostitute who seems to need help. So that is the situation, with Paco on the verge of committing suicide in view of the bunch of kids around him when, suddenly, luck seems to smile at them: a call for work. The job is to kidnap a sweet and harmless butcher, Aramís (Rosa María Sardá), and to ask for a large ransom that will allow Paco to pay his debts and to get rid of his new partners.

It all seems very simple although, with the appropriate people, it is possible to mess up even the simplest plan. In this way, step by step, cock-up after cock-up, our heroes manage to get all the criminals there wanting to finish them off.

But it seems they still have the odd ace left up their sleeves...
