The disappearance of dozens of teenage girls shakes Alto Hospicio community in northern Chile. The official version speaks of runaways from broken homes and an underworld of traffic, but the case hides a horror perhaps even worse: A murderer that remains unpunished unable to stop his impulses.
Set in the late 90s, it tells the story behind the police investigation in search of the person responsible for the disappearances of girls, which occurred in the town of Alto Hospicio in Iquique.
Captain Rojas arrives in northern Chile from Santiago to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a group of teenage girls in Alto Hospicio.
Intelligence confirmed by the head of the Alto Hospicio police forces Rojas and Carrasco to travel to Tacna, a wild Peruvian city on the border with Chile. In Peru, Rojas infiltrates the people-trafficking gangs who deal in “white slaves” in an attempt to find the missing Chilean girls, to no avail.
After reviewing all the murders of women in the area, Captain Rojas believes he has found his serial killer’'s "Case Zero": a prostitute, whose body appeared on a beach two years ago. While Rojas pursues this lead, Carrasco has suspicions about a volleyball teacher who taught several of the missing girls. The information spreads amongst the neighbours, who want to take justice into their own hands
Following the trail of disappearances leads Rojas to 'La Ponderosa' a place in the middle of the desert where private parties are held with prostitutes, many of whom are minors.
The case of the Alto Hospicio Psychopath reaches national coverage, but Rojas' investigation into institutional corruption in Hospicio puts him in the sights of several powerful men in the area.
Rojas leaves the hospital after receiving a brutal beating in which Carrasco also secretly participated. The attempt to intimidate Rojas only reinforces his need to continue investigating, but his theory crumbles when the innocence of the driver of La Ponderosa, whom he considered the main suspect, is proven
After exposing the corruption and threatening his superior, Rojas continues his investigation without the support of the police.
Rojas is convinced that he has discovered the identity of the psychopath but he has no evidence. He travels to the murderer's hometown, where he discovers the origin of his violent instincts.
The mysterious disappearance of a young man after a party breaks the calm of the community. Misinformation and chaos take over the city. Non-commissioned officer Antonia Loij works tirelessly to find the student's whereabouts when an unexpected character arrives in the city: former captain César Rojas. Becoming a private investigator for a law firm that is an expert in sexual crimes, Rojas will have to solve the mysterious disappearance of the young man. What he does not imagine is that, in the search, he will remove secrets from his life and those around her, facing a powerful institution that, when cornered, will respond with death and violence.
