Pedro is a small farmer who has just acquired his first piece of land in the most isolated agricultural region in the interior of São Paulo. In an attempt to pay off the debt from the purchase of the farm, he invests a large part of the family's economic reserve in the production of organic food.
His plans start to go awry when a mysterious biotechnology company arrives in the region offering a new technology in transgenic seeds, capable of increasing productivity. Together with his wife and teenage son, Pedro will have to deal with the new production dynamics and the violence in the countryside imposed by the unbridled growth of agribusiness.
However, a strange chemical phenomenon begins to make the soil on his farm infertile, setting Pedro on a journey to save his family from bankruptcy.
