Vinicio Cepeda (Damian Alcazar), a travelling Bible salesman happen to be in the same town in Ecuador during the funeral of the three dead children. Vinicio's car accidently hits a young boy and kills him. The town's people brutally beat Vinicio almost to death, which is a normal practice in uncivilized countries.

More over he started an affair with Marisa, his producer and wife of the station manager. Vinicio contacted Manolo and asked for his help to get out from jail, in turn he offers to give him inside information about Monster of Babahoyo. He also reveals to Manolo that he had met the killer and know about other victims buried at the same graveyard where those three children are buried. 

Instead of informing the police, Manolo conducts his own investigation and try to become a glorified hero. He forgets all about ethics and morality, and to become a champion utilizes the one and only opportunity of a lifetime. 

Talented director Sebastian Cordero skillfully narrates the story of a corrupt TV journalist in a corrupt country. He keeps the flow of the movie at a brisk pace. Even though the film is loosely taken, it covers a complex story and moral issues very well. 

John Leguizamo presents an excellent performance as the TV reporter. This is best role he has ever played. With intense acting, he keeps the audience anxious about his next action. As a crime thriller the film is a good entertainer. It has very well covered the corrupt practices in corrupt countries.
