Spoilers ahead
Five undercover cops—Doca (Otávio Müller), Danilo (Gabriel Braga Nunes), Carlinhos (Marcello Melo Jr.), Branco (Milhem Cortaz) and Samuel (Caio Blat)—operate inside Complexo do Alemão, a district that blends several slums and is considered one of the city’s most dangerous zones in Rio de Janeiro. Their mission is compromised when the government signals a raid with military vehicles, prompting the drug lord Playboy (Cauã Reymond) to sever all communications and cut the lines that could connect them to their boss, Samuel’s father the sheriff Valadares (Antônio Fagundes). With contact cut off, the five officers shelter in the basement of Doca’s pizzeria, which becomes their basically improvised base of operations as the danger closes in around them.
