During the World Cup final between Argentina and Holland, in times of military dictatorship, a group of torturers violently breaks into a home and kidnaps a group of young people to take them to a clandestine detention center. What begins as an inhumane interrogation turns into a true martyrdom: the wrong group of people have been kidnapped. They turn out to be part of a macabre cult guided by an unknown supernatural force.
Behind the veil of the real life political unrest of Argentina's 'dirty war' what starts as grim, unrelenting portrayal of the horrors that can be unleashed under dictatorial regimes, plumbs even further into the depths of depravity to a finale of truly Fulci-esque grand guignol.
