Ubaldo, an ex-military who now works on a bank in São Paulo, heads northeast after inheriting lands from the biological father he never knew - a famous cangaceiro. When Ubaldo is taken hostage during a bank heist, he buys his way out of death by offering information for a more profitable heist. He's persuasive enough that the gang agrees to his bargain, as long as he's able to prove his point.

As the gang prepares for the next heist, Ubaldo reconnects with an old childhood friend, Leinneane, whose husband is running for mayor. Tensions rise among the bandits when the next robbery almost costs them their lives. Ubaldo rebels against the gang's amateurism and wins a fight against Ameaço. From now on, if they want to make real money, they'll have to do it his way: no deaths allowed.
