The
world of Salvador, a small naďve hit-and-run thief is shaken by the arrival
of his cousin Angel, an ex-convict in search of easy money and a place
to hide. Salvador is involved in his cousin's illicit business to escape
from the suffocating family atmosphere. By placing family and friends
in jeopardy, the boy eventually destroys the few sensible things left
in his life.
