Synopsis:
Paul and Erik, two introverted losers lacking social contacts, both work in a smudgy kitchen of the cheap chicken burger fast-food store 'El Chicko'. To pass time and monotony, Paul constantly tells his partner stories about a murderer killing women, of which Erik wants to hear more and more. Eventually, Erik starts to believe that Paul is telling stories about himself. When Paul meets Stella, a love relationship begins and, at the same time, Martha, the sexy waitress at 'El Chicko' disappears, Erik's suspicion that Paul is involved in the murder cases he told him about take shape.
