Cristian, a young rapper from a marginal neighborhood of Bogotá, earns his living by singing rap on a city bus with his friend Jhon. He dreams of traveling to Ecuador to participate in a music contest and leaving everything behind. One day, his daily routine is disrupted by the unexpected presence of his little sister, Jackeline, who skipped school to secretly follow him. Cristian escorts his sister back home, but his mother's wrath motivates him to take his sister with him. Cristian's travel plans are frustrated when a teenage gang steals his instruments of work: an amplifier and a mic, which he worked hard to obtain. After learning that his friend's betrayal led to the theft, a discouraged Cristian finds unexpected support in Jackeline, who encourages him to perform in public. An enthusiastic audience still yields little profit, and Cristian plans to take his sister home to leave her alone again. But Jackeline runs away suddenly, pushing Cristian to reconsider what he really wants from his life.
