- Synopsis:
Pedro Rojas (Roberto Soza) graduates from the Police Academy in Mexico City with his best friend Anibal Morales (Bruno Bichir). They begin their careers as federal highway patrolman on a lonely stretch of road in Northern Mexico. Anibal immediately starts taking bribes. Pedro holds out but suffers a series of mishaps: he is shot in the leg by a drunk driver and harrassed by his father's ghost (Eduardo Lopez Rojas), wrecks a police car, beats up the son of the State Governor. Soon he too succumbs to easy money, marries a local ranch-owner, Griselda Marcos (Zaide Silvia Gutierrez) and takes as his mistress a prostitute, Maribel (Vanessa Bauche). But when Anibal is killed in a shootout with drug dealers, Pedro's old fanaticism returns. He sets out into the desert, to settle the score... - Actors:
