During a severe storm in southern Chile, two tourists are helped by an elderly man who offers them shelter from the rain in his home; left with no other choice, the two young women accept. There, they are compelled to listen to the man’s local tales about the area: a police investigation involving the "Invunche" creature, the truth behind an unsolved crime known as "La Calchona, " and the abduction of a young woman by the "TueTue" bird.

Juan Pérez is an ordinary Chilean; one who goes through his monotonous life unnoticed, surviving debts, his crushing work, minimum wage, and loneliness. Until one day, out of luck, he prevents a robbery and is given hero status by the media. This lasts 24 hours. Forced to return to his routine, Juan falls into a spiral of excess and madness, and ends up the opposite of the hero he wanted to be.
