Seeking to settle a debt, wannabe pro biker Rafa decides to pledge his services to a criminal organization.[1] However, he is torn between the two lives he is leading as an honest man in the morning and a courier at night. Eventually this double life takes a toll on him and he resorts to drugs, which affects his dream of being a pro racer. At last he understands that there is no way out from the crime life and with help of his friend he tries to escape the drug cartel but is identified by the police and offered the same job just on the side of law which he takes up as he realises that family is the most important thing.
