Mili and Roque are a married couple going through a dramatic financial crisis. To cope, they decide to turn to Mili's cousin, Olga. Olga quickly arrives to take care of the problem, but there's a catch: Olga has died on the way in a car accident. Mili convinces Roque to practice the art of necromancy to get the money they need. But playing with the dead has its consequences.

The piqueteros have seized power, and the country is plunged into chaos. Olga and Horacio, a bourgeois couple, escape through a forest trying to reach the river and cross to Punta del Este. Along the way, they find an abandoned house that once belonged to a revolutionary group. They decide to take refuge there for a few days, knowing that the piqueteros' threat is still latent.
