The film begins by showcasing the imminent deportation of Alonso Marroquí, a notorious Mexican drug kingpin who had previously made a daring escape from incarceration. This sets the stage for the unfolding chaos. The narrative then shifts to unveil a terrifying plague, a zombie-like contagion rapidly spreading through the ranks of the drug cartel.
These afflicted individuals are depicted as exceptionally agile and ferocious, posing an unprecedented threat. The trailer powerfully portrays the escalating and increasingly brutal conflict between the cartel members themselves and the newly infected, underscoring the perilous struggle for survival in this ravaged landscape. The violence is shown to be indiscriminate, affecting both sides of the conflict equally.
One character, strongly implied to be a journalist immersed in reporting on the cartel's activities, expresses a palpable sense of being inextricably entangled in the unfolding mayhem. This inclusion suggests that the stakes extend far beyond a simple battle against organized crime; the personal investment and the human cost of this conflict are integral to the plot. The journalist's perspective hints at a deeper narrative, focusing on the individual struggles within the larger societal collapse caused by the drug war and the subsequent zombie outbreak. The implication is that this isn't just a battle for power within the cartel, but a fight for survival against overwhelming odds.
