Teresa, the pregnant teenage daughter of a powerful Mexico crime lord known only as "El Jefe" (Spanish language for "The Boss"), is summoned before her father and interrogated as to the identity of her unborn child's father. Under torture, she identifies the father as Alfredo Garcia, whom El Jefe had been grooming to be his successor. Infuriated, El Jefe offers a $1 million Bounty (reward) to whoever will "bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia".
