Carlos is a bank executive who lives with his wife Marta and children Marcos and Sara. Carlos gets ready to drop Marcos and Sara off to school while Marcos brings a soccer ball with an autograph on it because he wants to prove to his friends that he really does have the autograph. After starting the car, Carlos receives an anonymous call on a phone that has been left inside and is told that a bomb has been placed under each of the car's seats, set to explode if any of them leaves their seated position. The devices will be deactivated only once Carlos transfers a large sum of money into the caller's account. Carlos stops the car near the school to try to figure this out. Some kids from the school crowd wants to see the ball with the autograph, but Carlos cannot let Marcos get out to show the ball to his classmates and his friends think he was lying. Carlos calls one of his coworkers and they say the mysterious man on the phone (who will be referred to as "the stranger") called them too. Carlos and his coworker meet up and discuss the situation, still in each of their cars, blocking traffic. While Carlos drives away, someone in his coworker's car gets out and the car blows up. Carlos drives past the blown up car in horror and the stranger orders Carlos to drive away quickly. Marcos is injured in the explosion and Carlos wants to drive him to the hospital, but the stranger won't let him until he transfers the money. Carlos calls Marta and tells her about the situation, telling her to go to the bank to transfer the money in her accounts to the stranger's account. Carlos sits in his car near the bank. Marta shows up at the bank with another person. On the phone, Carlos is stopped by police and is isolated by a
bomb squad. He is then told that he must release Marcos and Sarah, but still believes that they are in danger. After negotiation with them, they find out there is only a bomb in the front two seats. Still injured by the explosion in his leg, Marcos is released, but Sara jumps in the front seat as she does not want to abandon Carlos. After some time, Sara and Carlos are visited by a past client named Lucas, but claims to be Carlos's brother Pablo. Lucas tells them that he was the one extorting the money over the phone from Carlos for having his wife commit suicide after being coaxed into making bad investments that ruined her economically. Lucas leaves and begins telling him over the phone that a separate bomb he showed them before will blow if Carlos doesn't make an escape to a location where more money can be sent to his account in 5 minutes. Sara and Carlos hastily escape in spite of the behest of authorities until they reach a dock where Sara reluctantly accepts to leave for her safety. Lucas returns to Carlos in the passenger seat and explains himself, Carlos then decides to drive the car into the water in order to escape the explosion. After driving into the water and swimming away, Carlos escapes and is resuscitated by paramedics and is later laid off from his bank job. Carlos, on the phone with a new employee in his previous managerial position telling him about a business opportunity, promptly hangs up the phone after the caller states how important family is to a business. ==Cast==
