Diego, a man betrayed by his trusted partner in crime, finds himself awaiting the arrival of his lawyer, the enigmatic Dr. Antinucci. Dr. Antinucci, known for his slick appearance, chain-smoking habit, and the fact that he never undergoes frisking by the prison guards, arrives at the prison to meet Diego.

Diego's life takes an unexpected turn when he is arrested for the heinous crime of kidnapping a prominent businessman. However, to everyone's surprise, the charges against him are dropped. The businessman and his wife, who have been duped by Diego's partner, portray Diego as an innocent victim, rather than a master criminal.
