Synopsis

The plot focuses on the neighborhood of Chueca that is located in Madrid. Victor, an owner of a real-estate company, wants to have a monopoly over all the apartments in Chueca, in order to turn it into the Madrid version of the Castro district in San Francisco, but the apartments are owned by senior citizens that do not want to sell to him. Víctor decides to take matters into his own hands and murder anyone that stands in his way. Everything is going Víctor's way until Rey and Luis, a gay couple, inherit the apartment of Víctor's latest victim. Víctor tries to buy the apartment from Rey but he refuses to sell it because he wants his mother, Doña Antonia, to move into the apartment. Now Víctor has to find a way to kill Doña Antonia while police are out looking for the murderer that is on the loose in Chueca.
