Caco is a proud, handsome man, head of a family, and very powerful in the local community. Yet he has been torn to pieces by the death of his beloved daughter. He constantly visits her grave, weeps silently at her photo and has transferred all his wildly protective love and attention onto his mentally challenged nephew, Diego. It seems that Diego's father, Caco's brother, is in hiding after having killed a man from the Caravaca family, who are equally powerful in the community. They are looking for vengeance and have come to Caco for justice. When he refuses to betray his brother, the Caravacas grow impatient. When they realize they are getting nowhere, they threaten to kill Diego. Despite his fierce pride, Caco eventually realizes that the cycle of killing and revenge must be broken. But how can he achieve this and protect everyone he loves?

Vengo is een wervelende hommage aan de flamenco in Andalusië, die de kijker in zijn ziel raakt. Caco kan de dood van zijn dochter niet verwerken. Gekweld door verdriet stort hij zich dagelijks in verhitte feesten waar zangeressen hun hart uitschreeuwen. Zijn familie is bovendien in een vendetta verwikkeld met de Moorse Caravaca familie. Zal Caco in zijn dronken extase het noodlot kunnen ontlopen? De muziek wordt ten gehore gebracht door beroemde muzikanten. In het begin van de film vindt een schitterende muzikale dialoog plaats tussen de weelderige gitaar van de grote Tomatito en de extatische stem van de Egyptische Ahmad Al Tuni. Legendarische zangeressen als La Caita en La Paquera die zelden voor optredens hun zigeunergronden verlaten, zijn indrukwekkend in de film te zien.
