Rita Mora Castro, an underappreciated lawyer in Mexico, writes the defense for a murder case involving a prominent media figure's wife, going against her conscience to argue the death as a suicide ("El alegato"). After winning the case, Rita receives an anonymous call with a mysterious but lucrative offer. Reflecting on her discontent, Rita agrees to a meeting ("Todo y nada"). The client, revealed to be cartel kingpin Juan "Manitas" Del Monte, expresses desire to covertly undergo gender-affirming surgery, beginning a new and authentic life ("El encuentro").
