A group of drug-influenced lumpen teenagers from the suburbs of the city descends into the center where they do not belong, where they are excluded.

Unaware of what will happen to them, cheerful and well-to-do university students are helpless in the face of this gun-wielding mob that suddenly raids the bar where they are having fun.
