In flashbacks, the story of Luisito is told of following in the footsteps of his father and butchers to be. The film shows in great detail how the sensitive boy is taught how to slaughter and butcher a pig.
As a child, Luisito witnessed his father being shot by the drug dealer Rafael Diaz, or Rafa for short, in an argument over a run-over goat. When the opportunity arises, the boy stabs one of Rafa's men, for which he ends up in prison. General Colon gets him out of prison, encourages Luisito to have done the right thing and swears him to fight against drug dealers.
Together with his cousin Tavo, the grown-up Luisito, who is now also called La Soga , works in a special unit run by General Colon. They track down criminals and drug dealers who are then shot on the spot without a trial. Luisito is still obsessed with taking revenge and killing Rafa. Even though he keeps asking the general to do so, Rafa is not on the list of death row inmates.
Although Luisito is a vegetarian, he also works as a butcher. When he is supposed to slaughter a pig for a party, he meets his childhood sweetheart Jenny again after 20 years. Her uncle is late for the festival because he was attacked and robbed on arrival. Luisito poses as a detective and retrieves the stolen passports and suitcases. It is still tingling between Jenny and Luisito.
When Luisito and Tavo visit a pedophile , but are supposed to spare him because he has already paid General Colon, Luisito first doubts General Colon's orders. Luisito wants to get out of the job. In the event of a hostage-taking, the situation escalates and Luisito kills an already arrested hostage-taker in front of the TV camera. There is a break between Jenny and Luisito.
Rafa, who was in the US, was deported and is back in the Dominican Republic. Luisito enters Rafa's house. When he has the opportunity to kill him, his little son appears. Luisito spares father and son. Rafa protests that he gave the general money for Luisito's family after his arrest.
The newspaper reads that La Soga killed a father and his son. Luisito wants to bring the truth to light. He seeks contact with a journalist and breaks into General Colon's office to gather evidence. Before his arrest, Luisito can just hand over the evidence to Jenny.
