La Zona takes its name from "The Zone," the gated community that boasts its own private school, security force and convictions that it can police itself. When a storm causes a power failure and knocks a billboard over the gate, three thieves sneak in and murder a resident. La Zona's citizens kill two of the assailants but cover up the incidents from principled city detective Rigoberto (Mario Zaragoza). Between the pressures of keeping the secrets and tracking down the remaining intruder, La Zona's residents resort to worsening police-state tactics in the name of self-protection.
