The judicial agent of the federal police Jesús "Chucho" Juárez lives with his daughter Magdalena in the neighborhood of de San Miguel de Nenepilco, Mexico City, and annually plays the role of the devil in the parish pastorela organized by father Benito. When the deputy prosecutor is assassinated, Chucho gets occupied with the case and does not realize that father Benito has died of a heart attack while having sex with one of the nuns; and that the new priest, Edmundo Posadas, has decided not to include him in the pastorela, instead giving his role to Vulmaro, Chucho's compadre. After years of playing the devil, Chucho is not going to give up his role easily, so he will have to face off in a classic fight of good versus evil to claim his part in the play. Cast
