After a devastating forest fire near Lisbon, the body of a young man is found. He had been living in the forest at a rehabilitation camp for juvenile offenders. It quickly becomes clear that the fire was arson. Suspicion falls on David da Costa, a friend of the victim, who was found in the immediate vicinity of the fire and, despite his youth, has a substantial criminal record, including several arson offenses. Everything points to the teenager's innocence. David has only one advocate: Gonçalo Postiga, the camp director, who firmly believes in David's innocence. Gonçalo asks his old friend, criminal defense lawyer Eduardo Silva, to take on the case. Years earlier, Gonçalo had helped Eduardo's daughter, Ines, through a life-altering crisis. Out of a sense of loyalty, Eduardo and his trainee lawyer, Marcia Amaya, accept the case. David makes it difficult for Eduardo to defend him. The boy is withdrawn and pretends to have no memory of the accident. David's rejection doesn't deter Eduardo and Marcia from doing everything in their power to help their client and search for new leads. Are there financial motives behind the arson? Only when Eduardo receives a clue from a completely unexpected source does he begin to uncover the truth.
