"Own business" tells the story of Ugarte, a character who returns to Cartagena after five years of exile.
Once again in the port city, he will have to face several characters in his biography who, after decades hidden in shadows, will reappear to blow his balance.
Among these are his sister Palmira, Beppo Tirivolo, alias Il Dottore, a dangerous prisoner linked to the Calabrian Ndrangueta and, especially, a murky subject who could become his next victim: José Antonio Ramírez de Lerma, the prosecutor who to change the destiny of Ugarte forever.
Accustomed to moving on the wire, the hit man must previously resolve several internal dilemmas.
