Marco is a thirty years old who faces provincial life as he can, among university broken dreams and a job he doesn't like. One day, a close friend, who is a realtor, suggest Marco to rent the apartment of his deceased grandfather to a particular client, with unusual conditions: the customer wants the house only on Friday night(s) and pays a lot. Marco is hesitant about that and, from the beginning, understands that something's not right but he needs money so he accepts the agreement.
After a few "fridays", checking his grandpa apartment, Marco notices that one of the doors was closed with a strong lock, which makes inaccessible that part of the house. This is the first step of a series of events that bring the main character in a situation out of control.
