A young man who murdered his fiancée out of jealously faces the rage of his former mother-in-law; a woman incriminated after defending her son from a dog’s attack; a young woman whose future was torn apart by a racist cop; a man who helped the love of his life with euthanasia. Four different people under arrest in one single night, four different stories about crime, justice and revenge that will forever haunt the lives of those involved. In this realistic and touching series, seemingly independent plots intertwine to show how justice can sometimes be a personal matter.

Milena is a young car thief who, out of bad luck, steals a car with a dead body in the trunk. Geiza murders a drug dealer to stand up for her daughter. Balthazar is a victim of racism, arrested for crimes he never committed. Jayme, in turn, is found guilty for having raped his niece Carolina, ten years before the trial. Seven years go by, the four of them are released after serving their sentences and are faced with the consequences of their imprisonment. These four independent stories are intertwined and raise the question: what does it mean for justice to be served in a country like Brazil?
