One Against All

Carlos Eduardo Fontana (Cadu), an honest lawyer trying to provide a stable home for his pregnant wife Malu and their son Teo, sees his life take a 180 after he is arrested on trumped-up charges and lands in prison, where inmates take him for a drug capo.

With the prison population believing Cadu to be drug kingpin, one of the most-respected inmates, Professor, instructs Cadu to smuggle in two elbows of marijuana as a sign of good faith. Meanwhile, the prison warden demands extortion money from Cadu.

While Cadu begins to play the role of prison shot caller, the warden puts into motion to plan to have Cadu killed. Meanwhile, Jonas, a federal cop investigating Cadu's case, begins to suspect that Cadu is innocent.

After acting out in school, Teo is sent to visit Cadu in prison. Jonas steps up his investigation into Cadu, and decides to confront Malu. The warden releases the murderer of China's father into gen pop at the same time Cadu hosts Teo at the prison.

Using a second mortgage on the home, Malu gets bribe money to the warden to have Cadu transferred. Meanwhile, Jonas arrests Pepe, the true drug kingpin that everyone believes Cadu to be. But instead of outing Cadu as an imposter, Pepe uses him as cover.

Pepe takes Cadu under his wing, showing him what it takes to be a true mafioso. In a show of appreciation, Pepe delivers Malu a briefcase full of money, but the allure of the drug world begins to drive a wedge between Cadu and Malu's relationship.

Amidst the celebration of watching Brazil crowned as World Cup champions, a riot breaks out in the prison. Using the melee to his advantage, the warden intends to take care of his two biggest problems: Cadu and Pepe.

As Cadu's day in court finally arrives, Jonas testifies to Cadu's innocence, but his chance of getting off is ruined by the warden's damning testimony. Facing the inmates that know his story was a sham, Cadu must consider escaping to Bolivia with Pepe.
