Vicio sangriento
Eighteen years ago, Manija and his gang robbed a renowned video production company. The robbery, in addition to stealing a juicy loot, involved murder and several rapes. Everyone remembers "that nightmarish afternoon," filled with sex, drugs, and death. Maribel, a voluptuous secretary who suffered the outrage, wreaked savage revenge: she amputated the leader's "member" and turned him over to the police. Today, he has served his sentence and is out of jail. Seeking to regain his prestige in the criminal world and longing to see the woman who mutilated him face to face, he reunites with his old colleagues with the intention of undergoing a delicate surgical procedure to implant "what was lost." But, once again, everything becomes complicated, and the excesses are worse than those of long ago.
