Spoilers ahead
On the tumultuous Mexico-United States border circa 1866, a mysterious drifter, Django, clad in a Union army uniform and dragging a coffin, stumbles upon a horrific scene. He witnesses María ([Loredana Nusciak]) being tied to a bridge and lashed by Mexican bandits. Before they can carry out their cruel plans to crucify her atop a raging fire, Django intervenes, swiftly taking down the attackers and proclaiming his intention to protect her.
Together, they find refuge in a ghost town overseen by Nathaniel ([Ángel Álvarez]), the local bartender, and a handful of sex workers. Nathaniel explains that this town exists as a demilitarized zone amidst the escalating conflict between Major Jackson (Eduardo Fajardo) and the revolutionary forces led by General Hugo Rodríguez ([José Bódalo]).
