The fiction takes place in Seville.[3] Two young friends live an unusual adventure: they have to find the way in which the President of the company where they work (and father-in-law of one of the two), returns safe and sound home by strange circumstances. He is found half-naked locked in the trunk of his car. At the same time, a businessman drowning in debt and his partner attempt to carry out an express kidnapping, although, by a series of unfortunate coincidences, they end up sequestering their father by mistake. From there, the problems just begin.
