Carlos and Miguel, friends since childhood, are going through what could only be described as a bit of a rough patch. Now in their fifties, instead of looking forward to a relaxing retirement, they have found themselves out of work, out of money and out of luck. Not only are they struggling to pay the bills, but also to prove to their families, and in-laws, that they are capable of looking after them. Just when they think that their situation is entirely hopeless, along comes a miracle! One day, while out fishing, the two friends make a very special catch… a package filled with 10 kilos of cocaine! They know that selling the drug would put an end to all their financial problems, but are they really prepared to get involved in such a dirty business? Do the ends really justify the means? And more to the point, what the hell do two fifty year olds know about selling coke?
