The Assassin
Since birth has been rejected, abused, neglected, pushed aside, is Jesus "Chico" Grande, and his childhood was spent in the streets. Life on the streets of Bogota is hard, but along with his friend Ramiro manages to survive as you can, do all kinds of things to survive: assaults, stealing, begging and even kills. He tells all his life from then until it becomes an assassin, a murderer who kills for money, sometimes by necessity or revenge and sometimes for pleasure, the same for drug traffickers to anyone with money. His life undergoes a change when he meets his friend Abigail Anaya who changes his life and after he raises his life disappears.
