action

The insufficiently motivated parcel delivery man Leo has often been admonished by his mother, who runs the parcel service company Next Day Air (NDA). Another mishap happened to him during a delivery, the consequences of which he did not notice at first: He did not deliver a package containing a large amount of cocaine from the drug lord Bodega to the criminal Jesus, but to the stupid roommates Guch and Brody, who also made their living Deny robberies. Amazed at the delivery, the team decides to sell the drugs to Brody's cousin Shavoo.

Meanwhile, Jesus and his partner Chita are trying to find out why they did not reach the expected delivery and they have to answer the bodega for the loss of the package. Bodega believes it is being duped and travels to Jesus to confront him.

The sale of the drugs to Shavoo is delayed when Shavoo and his right-hand man, Buddy, learn that their money depot, an abandoned garage, has been robbed. Meanwhile, Bodega surprises Jesus at his door. Bodega, Bodega's assistant, Jesus and Chita then go to see Leo because they suspect Leo of having embezzled the drug delivery. He remembers having inadvertently delivered the package to the wrong room number.

After Shavoo arrests the thieves of his money, he gets his money and goes to Brody's apartment to complete the sale of the drugs. During the handover, all parties eventually clash and suspect one another. In a subsequent shootout, almost everyone involved dies. Leo survived the hail of bullets unscathed and took the money that Shavoo brought into the apartment. Jesus and Chita also survive and keep the cocaine.
