In the film, two criminals rob a taxi driver. But they give him a choice between joining their gang or becoming their hostage. He chooses to join them, and he is soon receiving his own share from the gang's loot. The story focuses on the normalization of gang activity in his life, and the way the other gang members become part of the driver's family life.

Plot edit

Ulises (Alejandro Trejo) is a taxi driver who gets robbed by Chavelo (Daniel Muñoz) and Coto (Fernando Gómez-Rovira). They give him a choice between driving the taxi while they commit robberies or riding in the trunk, using the phrase "Wheel or trunk." This makes Ulises a member of their gang. After several failed and some successful robberies, Ulises begins to receive a share of the loot. What he once believed was immoral and wrong becomes normalized for him. The robbers even stay in Ulises' home and give gifts to his family, leading them to also cover up for the gang.

Soon, Ulises must choose between the benefits and drawbacks of this new lifestyle.
