Abandoned by their girlfriends for the summer, rich teenagers Tenoch and Julio meet older woman Luisa at a wedding. Trying to impress Luisa, the friends tell her they are headed on a road trip to a beautiful, secret beach called Boca del Cielo (Heaven's Mouth).

As they continue their journey, caught up in their own world, the wealthy trio all but ignore the harsh realities of poverty that surround them.
