Sugarkiller

A young woman who survives by seducing and robbing wealthy men is arrested and blackmailed by a police officer. In exchange for her freedom, she must infiltrate the dark business empire of a tech magnate. Once inside, she uncovers a clandestine market for women and will have to risk everything to save her best friend.

Macarena is 27 and studies Fine Arts in Barcelona. To survive, she leads a double life: through dating apps, she contacts wealthy men, seduces them, drugs them, and steals money and artwork. She is not after luxury, but control. Since she was sixteen, when she was sexually abused by her boss, she learned to turn male desire into a defense mechanism.

After stealing a Warhol print, she is intercepted by Abel, a suspended police officer who overstepped his authority in a previous investigation and has been tracking her for some time. Instead of arresting her, he offers a deal: he will erase her criminal record if she agrees to infiltrate the circle of Johannes Klaus, a powerful tech investor based in Sitges suspected of making young escorts disappear—including Abel’s own sister. Trapped, Macarena agrees and, with Abel’s help, creates a false identity as a young influencer to catch the magnate’s attention.

Klaus runs an art foundation that, under the guise of a creative residency, operates as a recruitment center for young women. Its headquarters is the Cliff House, an isolated mansion overlooking the sea where recruited girls are stripped of their belongings and subjected to physical and emotional discipline to prepare them for a secret auction aimed at wealthy patrons.

During one of Klaus’s private events, Macarena discovers that her best friend Mimi is among the recruits and that Mimi’s boyfriend has been found dead after refusing to participate in the private purchasing system for girls. From that moment on, the infiltration stops being a deal with the police and becomes a personal rescue mission.

Macarena manages to gain admission to the Cliff House. There she discovers that Carla, Abel’s missing sister, is not only alive but has become the facility’s chief instructor. Far from being a victim, she is a willing accomplice, drawn by luxury and shaped by a violent childhood, resentful toward Abel, whom she blames for abandoning her. Klaus takes a particular interest in Macarena, both for her artistic talent and because she reminds him of his deceased daughter. He offers her financial protection and a career in the art market in exchange for submitting to his control.

While Abel infiltrates the house, Macarena and Mimi attempt to escape during the final gala. Macarena manages to drug Klaus with scopolamine in a drink, disorienting him long enough to buy a few minutes. During their escape, they encounter Carla in the kitchen. Armed and on the verge of collapse, she unleashes her rage on Abel and commits suicide in front of them. Abel is seriously injured while helping the women flee through the service corridors. Klaus, having recovered, pursues them to the edge of the cliff. In a struggle with Macarena to stop her escape, he loses his balance and falls into the void. With no way out by land and security closing in, Macarena and Mimi jump into the sea together as their only option.

Some time later, Macarena returns to her father’s house, determined to leave behind her life as a sugar baby. But compulsion does not disappear so easily. One night, almost by inertia, she opens a dating app again. The first message is from Abel. He survived thanks to his bulletproof vest.
