Flama ("Flame", Daniel Miranda) and Moko ("Booger", Diego Cataño Elizondo) are two 14-year-olds and have been friends since childhood. One day, Flama invites Moko to play videogames while his mother is not home. There they have everything they need to survive such as videogames, adult magazines, pizza delivery, sodas and... no parents. The problem is when the lights go out and what seemed to be a regular day becomes an adventure for anybody who enters the place.
