PlotA young girl named Cataleya witnesses the brutal murder of her parents by a crime syndicate in Bogotá, Colombia. She manages to escape the killers and seeks refuge with her uncle Emilio in Chicago. Emilio, a gangster, becomes her mentor and trains her in the art of assassination to help her survive and prepare for her ultimate goal: avenging her parents' deaths. Growing up, Cataleya hones her skills to perfection, turning into a highly skilled and lethal assassin who leaves distinctive orchid drawings on her victims' chests as a calling card.
As an adult, Cataleya works methodically to track down and eliminate the individuals responsible for her family's tragedy. Her actions draw the attention of law enforcement and the crime syndicate, who recognize the orchid's significance to her past. While pursuing her vengeance, she navigates a complex web of deception, danger, and personal sacrifice. Cataleya's determination never wavers as opponents close in and her quest for justice intensifies.
