Brasil. O Presidente da República decreta a intervenção federal no Rio de Janeiro. As Forças Armadas sobem o morro e a cada operação se batem de morte com os traficantes. A população teme e treme a cada disparo, a cada ônibus queimado.Aquiles, grande guerreiro grego, abandona as páginas do Ilíada e vem caminhar novamente entre os mortais. Ele nasce numa casinha simples e é criado pela mãe, que tudo faz para mantê-lo longe das garras da violência. Em vão. Aquiles tem espírito guerreiro e se sente atraído pelas armas. Quer lutar e ingressa no Exército brasileiro. Quando chamado a combater nas mesmas ruas em que cresceu, não hesita. Esta noite, porém, ele tem uma batalha pessoal. Protegido pelas sombras, avança pelos becos tortuosos e estreitos. Quer vingar a morte do seu grande amigo, assassinado pelo Dono do Morro. Este confia nos seus soldados, recrutados entre os jovens da favela, nas armas que possuem e no anonimato do seu refúgio. Contudo, nada será capaz de conter a fúria do herói.
