In a maximum security prison a boxer seeks his freedom and receives advice from the leader of the pavilion, a man who has been imprisoned for 30 years and is the beacon of all those inside. There is also a group of young people who dream of being millionaires and a young man who comes in for killing his stepfather. Their story unfolds in the abyss.
