"Tumberos" tells the story of a famous upper class lawyer, Ulises Parodi, unjustly imprisoned for the supposed murder of the dancer Gisella Acosta, who as the chapters go by will adapt to the world of Tumberos in the Parque Patricios prison, becoming rival of the leader of the prison cell, Guillermo Willy Marmotta. In turn, outside of jail, the lawyer Lorena Rodríguez must look for the real murderer and thus be able to prove Parodi's innocence.
