The Felpetos have run a clandestine lottery operation for decades, quietly embedded in a modest housing development. Maribel leads a crew of clerks who record bets from her living room, while her mother Alejandra oversees the books from an identical house just a few meters away. Lately, the neighborhood has taken a tense turn—some lottery bankers have been raided, and whispers of police shakeups and suspicious money flows are everywhere. But no one knows what’s true and what’s just rumor or media speculation.

Alf, a student at a strict Catholic school, finds himself drawn to Oliver, a charismatic new classmate. As their bond deepens, Alf distances himself from his longtime friends. But when faced with peer pressure and societal expectations, he betrays Oliver in a desperate attempt to prove his masculinity. This decision leads to devastating consequences that shake his sense of identity and morality. Confronting the harsh realities of toxic masculinity, privilege, and homophobia, the film offers a raw and frightening coming-of-age story where one act of betrayal reveals the deep scars left by social conformity and internalized fear.
