Aspiring concert promoter Claudio Caballero (Eduardo Arroyuelo—Before Night Falls, “Todo por amor”) dreams of bringing the legendary rock band U2 to his hometown of Monterrey, Mexico. Having few connections and no capital, his girlfriend Gloria (Martha Higareda—Sexo, amor y otras perversions, “Zapping Zone”) loans him $500,000 to place a bet with mob boss Zamacona (Roberto D’Amico—“Apuesta por un amor”, “Huracán”) on a soccer game. He secretly returns the money to Gloria, only to find that his team has lost. With Zamacona’s gunmen ready to dispatch him, Claudio rambles pathetically about his lost dream. This sparks the interest of the mobster’s son Tony (Jaime Camil—“Mi destino eres tú”, “Diseñador ambos sexos”), a rabid U2 fan, who convinces his father that staging the concert might be the only way to collect the debt. Zamacona decides to give Claudio seven days to book the show—or pay the ultimate price! 666
With the deadline moving ever closer, they find themselves up against Monterrey’s most successful—and ruthless—promoter, Zamacona’s enforcers, and a rival gang that’s gunning for Tony. The odds are against them, but all they can do now is follow their dream and hope for a miracle.
