Esteban escaped poverty in the ghetto when he was 13 by running away from home and joining the FARC guerrilla movement in Colombia.
With the peace process underway, Esteban’s life changes when he performs at a Peace Concert and is spotted by a famous Colombian producer. When he is invited to perform in Bogotá, a career as a musician is beginning to look possible. However, he must first make his own peace with his past and reconnect with his family in Cali.
