The ambush is a direct consequence of Guerrero’s earlier intervention when he protected two women from the notorious drug trafficker El Aguijon’s brother, Roman. Discovering that Guerrero and his team are the special forces unit tasked with taking down his operation, El Aguijon unleashes his forces to eliminate them. What follows is a tense and action-packed cat-and-mouse game as Guerrero and his men, initially caught off guard, must use their training and cunning to evade and fight back against the pursuing cartel.
Trapped in a hostile territory with limited resources, the Murciélagos face overwhelming odds as they try to reach a safe checkpoint. The film showcases intense gunfights, strategic maneuvers, and the strong camaraderie within the team as they face constant threats. Their mission evolves from a simple rescue to a desperate fight for their own lives and the safety of the innocent civilians they encounter along the way, culminating in a final showdown with the vengeful cartel leader.
