It was inspired by a real-life political scandal in Chile. In 2013, Martín Larraín, son of Senator Carlos Larraín (then-president of the right-wing party Renovación Nacional), was acquitted after killing a man in a DUI hit and run while his friends took the fall.[2]

Plot

Vicente, who resides in Los Angeles, returns to Chile to spend his summer at his parents' beach house. He is a reckless and somewhat solitary young man. However, one of those typical nights of pursuing girls and having drinks alters his life forever; he becomes the prime suspect in a hit-and-run accident that results in the death of a local fisherman. "I wasn't the one driving," he insists, but his memories are muddled. He does recall being in the car and that the driver was the son of a powerful politician.
