The film tells the story of Cielo, a mother in search of her daughter, abducted by a criminal cartel in Northern Mexico. As the authorities fail to offer support in the search, Cielo takes matters into her own hands and turns from housewife into avenging activist. She begins her own investigation and gains the trust of Lamarque, an unconventional army lieutenant working in the region. He agrees to help Cielo in her search, as her data may also be useful for his operations. Cielo’s cooperation with Lamarque draws her further into a vicious circle of violence.
