PlotIn a stylish Madrid apartment complex, Elisa, a glamorous high-end escort struggling to find meaning in her life, gets entangled in a dangerous predicament when she witnesses a neighbor disposing of a corpse. This neighbor, Miguel, is a brooding and enigmatic man who immediately confronts Elisa about what she has seen. Rather than turning her in to authorities or disposing of her as a threat, Miguel uses manipulation and charm to coerce Elisa into aiding him with the body. The intrigue deepens as their interaction evolves from one of sheer necessity to a more complex relationship of shared secrets and guarded motivations.
As they navigate this shadowy alliance, both characters reveal deeper personal struggles and hidden vulnerabilities, creating a tension-laden atmosphere of mistrust mixed with reluctant camaraderie. While concealing their involvement in the sordid affair from others around them, they encounter unexpected obstacles that propel them further into a tangled web of deceit and impending danger. As the lines between captor and accomplice blur, the stakes rise dramatically, and the burden of their grim reality strains their psyches. Each decision carries the potential for catastrophic consequences, trapping them in a suspenseful dance with fate as they grapple with their moral boundaries and the danger that continues to close in around them.
