The Spanish film follows the story of Sara (played by Laura Galán) as she is constantly bullied by other girls from her school. It doesn't help that her family are unable to empathize with her.

One day, she gets ridiculed, harassed, and physically assaulted at a local pool. But as she deals with her three attackers, Sara feels the presence of a stranger in the water. As she heads home, she sees the three teenage girls get kidnapped in a van. The question on her mind now is whether she should get the police involved or should she turn a blind eye to the crime.
