Set during the Mexican Civil War, LOS DE ABAJO tells the story of a rancher named Demetrio whose life takes a drastic turn when a local tyrant burns down his home.
With nowhere to live, Demetrio joins the revolutionary forces and is appointed as a leader during an attack on the federals. When an injury puts him under the care of Camila and Curro (a medical student), he quickly falls in love with Camila, only to realize she, in turn, loves Curro. Once recovered, Demetrio joins the pro-Villa army, becomes a war hero, and seeks vengeance on the man who destroyed his home.
