    A taxi driver gets caught up in a deadly operation when he steals the identity of a passenger.

    SYNOPSIS

    A taxi driver from La Paz, out of work and desperate for money, assumes the identity of a passenger —a photographer, and takes his next assignment, not knowing he is actually a hit-man whose next target is a top-ranked government official.
