Marina (Adriana Esteves) is the spoiled daughter of a wealthy landowner (Oswaldo Loureiro) from the Northeast. Tired of the Homeric fights and arguments she has with her husband Cássio (Marcelo Novaes), a typical city boy, she decides to ask her father to hire a gunman to eliminate her husband. The patriarch, who is no longer in love with his son-in-law, soon hires a jagunço (Ernani Moraes) to do the job.
