Here we meet Leandro, a fisherman who leads an honest life until the day he kills a man who abuses his daughter. Forced to flee, he wanders through the fields until he is taken in by João Senteiro, the old leader of a gang of thieves. Leandro joins the group and tries to raise money to flee to Brazil. But when the region's Administrator offers a reward for capturing the gang, Leandro's sense of justice is once again put to the test.
