On June 12th, 2000, a bus full of passengers was kidnapped in Rio de Janeiro in broad daylight.

The whole episode was broadcast live, causing revolt among the population. The documentary is about the incident, with interviews, focusing on Sandro do Nascimento, his childhood, and how unavoidably he was doomed to become an outlaw.
