When aspiring actress Maria Laura's best friend begs her to flirt with her boyfriend to test his fidelity, Maria finds a lucrative new career as a paid seductress.

Reception
Reviews for A la mala have been mixed. The News Tribune said that "A la Mala begins with promise and finishes well enough to justify the investment in time. It's all that dull, formulaic stuff mediados pelicula (mid movie) that sucks the salt right off the tequila glass and leaves this one too stale to swallow."[3]
