The UN General Secretary announced that a giant meteorite will crash to Earth in three days. There's no hope for the mankind after the impact. Despair, chaos and death roam the planet. The inhabitants of the lost town of listen Laguna terrorized the news. Given the collective hysteria, Ale, a frustrated young man who lives with his mother, decides to spend his last days locked up, getting drunk and listening to his favorite music. But his plans changed abruptly when he is compelled to help his mother, Rosa, to protect his brother's four children at the arrival of Lucio, an unknown, ambiguous and puzzling character full of dark intentions.
