A story of three teenagers on the slum of Salvador, Brazil. Café runs away from the interior because of a "family revenge" that persecutes him. Arriving in the capital, he tries to find her father, who is imprisoned in a local prison. Pépi lives on the outskirts, where she is raped by her stepfather and expelled from home by her own mother. Limão lives in a hole under a viaduct with Marta, who is very weak due to drug addiction. The three come together to survive, while the friendship grows between them. But the setbacks of everyday life end up leading them to different paths.
