Twenty-something Julián is a graphic modeller, who spends countless hours of his life in the careful creation of terrifying creatures. After he acts to save a neighbourhood child from a fire, he is unable to process the mental and emotional shock of the horrible incident. He tries to develop a romantic relationship with Diana, an art history student he meets at a party. But a new creative outlet, one he scarcely understands and struggles to contain, threatens his once seemingly normal existence. He violates the trust of everyone close to him and ends up spinning quickly out of control.
