Synopsis
In Argentina over 8,000 people die in traffic accidents every year, an average of 22 a day; over 20.000 are hurt. Only in the last decade theres been 100.000 casualties. Behind each of these tragedies is a flourishing industry founded on insurance payouts and legal loopholes.
Sosa is a lawyer specialised in traffic accidents, who is about to win back his licence to practice law. He tours the A&E Departments of the public hospitals and the police stations in search of potential clients. Now he allegedly works for a foundation that helps victims, that is actually a screen for a shady law firm.
Luján is a young doctor recently arrived from the provinces and has been trying out multiple jobs: ambulances, hospital guards, emergency services. Alone, with a rhythm of work that barely allows her any sleep, she tries to find some stability in a strange city.
Their love story kicks off one night when Luján and Sosa meet in the street. She´s trying to save a man´s life; he wants him on his client portfolio. From that moment on, their lives won´t stop intersecting. Together they will try to change the course of their lives. But Sosa´s turbulent past will unexpectedly return.
