After losing a bet, jobless car salesman Maiquel (Murilo Benicio) bleaches his raven hair platinum, which triggers a lethal confrontation with a mocking street punk (Wagner Moura). But instead of going to jail for snuffing the scumbag, Maiquel goes from zero to hero in the eyes of his neighbors and the cops. Before you can say "contract killer," Maiquel is dispensing rough justice on the streets of Rio de Janeiro in this frenetic action flick.
