    • Synopsis
    • In a city where the government permits only 30 ambulances for a population of over nine million, the family acts as a crucial—albeit illicit—underground lifeline. But the job is riddled with police bribes and cutthroat competition. And even though the Ochoa family has a reputation for being trustworthy, they must reckon with the sudden escalation in bribes that could force them to wade into the ethically questionable practice of extorting money from patients in dire straits.
