Spoilers ahead

In a remote region of Colombia, a gun-toting gang United under a violent leader named Benjamin guards a mysterious package as they drive to a farmhouse. They storm the house, seize the family, and declare that there’s money in exchange for their safety, even though the family insists they are poor and have never seen real wealth. Benjamin grabs the husband, Simon, at gunpoint while one of his men begins taking neck measurements from every family member. The only person who seems to fit the “desired” size is Simon’s wife, Ofelia. From the package, the gang unveils two PVC pipes and a handful of devices, and they assemble a deadly collar bomb that clasps around Ofelia’s neck.
