Sergio and Felicidade travel by car to Rio de Janeiro with their teenage daughter, Betinha. During an argument at a hotel, the wife attacks her husband with a knife. Believing he is dead, she flees back to Sao Paulo with her daughter, only to realize on the road that they are being followed by her husband’s henchman. The journey gradually turns into a game of manipulation and violence.
