One Saturday night, under Bishops persistence, the friends decide to rob a local bodega to teach the owner, Fernando Quiles, a lesson. At first Q hesitates to go through with the robbery, unsure whether it will be successful. He also fears it will affect his chances of participating in a DJ competition in which he has yearned to compete for years. After being pressured by his fellow crew members he decides to join in. During the heist, Bishop shoots the owner in the head, killing him. ........
