Au Brésil, à la fin du XIXe siècle. Petit paysan ruiné, Francisco Manoel da Silva gagne le surnom de « Cobra Verde » en tuant un homme dans les mines d'or. Devenu contremaître d'une plantation à Bahia, il fait des enfants aux trois filles de son patron, par défi. Pour se débarrasser de lui, ce dernier l'envoie au Dahomey, en Afrique, sous prétexte de réactiver le trafic des esclaves. Contre toute attente, Cobra Verde gagne l'amitié du souverain local, Bossa Ahadee, un homme fou et tyrannique, en l'aidant à résoudre un conflit frontalier. Petit à petit, cependant, les relations entre le monarque et l'aventurier se détériorent. Le premier finit par emprisonner le second…

A group of tenants living in an old house are confronted with having to move out due to a renovation project the city has undertaken.

Without knowing who it is, begins to understand their relationships with a motley gallery of men: a corrupt politician, connected to drug trafficking and paramilitary groups, a bullfighter cunning and good for nothing, a boxer fallen on hard times with a force so stupid as rare Lotero intellect and an insightful blind. And in the midst of this, the dark threads entangling power to everyone, and especially the poor Fierro.
