Thursday, September 19, 1985. 7 AM, Mexico City. At the General Hospital, Dr. Ángel is handling a complicated delivery. In downtwon, Camila, an amateur journalist, is working on an independent report. In Tlatelolco, Gabriela heads to work while her husband and children get ready to start the day. The minutes slowly approach 7:19 AM... the hour that changed the course of an entire nation.

A year earlier, Camila tells her family about her dream of becoming a journalist and leaves Guadalajara. In 1985, an hour after the earthquake, signs of life are found under the rubble at the General Hospital. Gabriela, worried about her children, heads back to Tlatelolco amidst the chaos. Meanwhile, Camila discovers a group of women trapped in a garment factory.

In the 1950s, Ignacio promises his dying mother that he will always take care of his younger brother, Ángel. In 1985, two hours after the earthquake, Ángel continues his rescue efforts when Ignacio visits him. Camila encounters Gabriela near Tlatelolco, where the police are not allowing anyone to enter. Beneath the rubble, Alberto finds another survivor.

Gabriela confronts her past and the issues affecting her crumbling marriage. Three hours after the earthquake, Ángel discovers a new way to reach the babies and nurses trapped under the rubble with Pepín's help. Gabriela and Camila each make their way into the collapsed building in Tlatelolco. Meanwhile, Alberto and Regina get closer to the surface.

Rescue operations at the hospital are ongoing with the help of students. Efforts to rescue survivors in Tlatelolco continue. Deep within the rubble, someone is calling for help.
