Jessica y Ángela son dos chicas jóvenes que llevan lo que podría denominarse sin tapujos “una vida de mierda”: trabajos precarios, familia apática la primera, novio insulso la segunda, días iguales... Además, resulta que son hermanas, aunque no se conocen, no sabemos qué las separó, sin comparten madre. Lo que sí ocurre es que el padre común, con quien tenían muy escaso trato acaba de morir. Acuden a reconocer su cuerpo, y descubren que tenía un pedazo de apartamento.
