Là-bas, Angel est rattrapé par ses vieux démons: quelques jours auparavant, il a tué l'un de ses créanciers... Pris de panique ils décident de remonter tous les deux à Quito, où ils pensent faire fortune. Ils fréquentent alors Carolina (Irina Lopez), la riche cousine de Salvador, chez qui ils vont trouver les moyens de faire fortune.
