Stray Bullet is a film about the route of five bullets and the people they affect during a shoot-out in Rio de Janeiro.

First, we see only a hand loading the gun. Then, a failed car robbery leads a thief to run away towards a square while chased by a policeman. A shooting starts. Time rewinds one minute to reveal the stories of the people already in the town square. In the beginning of a sunny afternoon we see, from many sides of the square, the minute of their lives before the shooting.

Their stories and lives differ, only to be united by chance: A blind beggar, a woman discussing with her lover, four retired men playing cards, a teenage couple, a very sick man who has just taken a dose of morphine, a policeman and another hot day in Rio de Janeiro. The bullets fly over the square. In the end, each one reaches its destiny.
