Premise
Set in Entrevías, the poorest neighborhood in Madrid, the series follows Tirso Abantos, a former military man running a hardware store, whose monotonous daily routine is shaken when his unruly and rebellious adopted teenaged granddaughter Irene, of Vietnamese origin, along with her Colombian-immigrant boyfriend Nelson, agree to sell heroin from drug dealer Sandro. While the young couple had planned to sell the drugs and run off together, the plan goes wrong, and she is assumed to be violently raped by Sandro and his thugs. The truth comes out later in the series. Tirso then teams up with corrupt police officer Ezequiel to face up to the criminals in the neighborhood.[2][3]
