In present-day Mexico, Rita, an overqualified yet undervalued lawyer, finds herself at a crossroads. Her mundane job at a large firm prioritizes getting criminals off the hook rather than serving justice. But everything changes when she receives an unexpected offer.
Enter Juan “Little Hands” Del Monte, a feared cartel boss known as Manitas. Manitas wants to retire from his criminal business and also disappear forever. However, there’s a twist: he has a secret plan. Manitas dreams of becoming the woman he’s always envisioned.

As the stakes rise, Rita must navigate the dangerous world of cartels, all while witnessing Manitas’ remarkable metamorphosis. Along the way, original songs by Camille also underscore their unconventional partnership.
