The dramatic consequences of political power. Román Sabaté is a young 30-year-old man who arrives in Buenos Aires along with his flatmate, Sebastián Petit. Sebastián aspires to fulfill his dream of being part of the political party PRAGMA, led by Fernando Rovira.

There is a big obstacle in Fernando Rovira’s political career: the Alsina curse, which proclaims that no governor from Buenos Aires will ever get to be president, at least not through the popular vote. To avoid the curse and become President, Fernando Rovira plans a controversial political strategy that will be of great impact in the media. He wants to create a divide in Buenos Aires.

Therefore, he decides to run away with Rovira’s son, Joaquín.
