Diego lives in a prison in Cochabamba, Bolivia. His parents are locked up, but he is free to come and go: to school and to the market, working as a 'taxi', doing errands for other prisoners. But the future looks grim unless he can make money, fast. His friend Mando has a plan...
Diego and Mando are soon deep in the jungle, on their way to a fortune. But their plan hits terrible trouble, and Diego must risk everything if he wants to see his family again.
