The film follows (played by Lali Espósito ), a young woman from an upper-middle-class family in Buenos Aires who is the sole suspect in the brutal murder of her best friend, Camila. Two years after the crime, Dolores lives under house arrest, meticulously preparing for a trial that has become a national media sensation.
