Ten years after the accident that killed his partner, Matías comes across an investigation that she had left unfinished. It was a historical review of the anarchist bomb attack on the Corpus Christi procession in Barcelona. Committed in 1896, it resulted in numerous deaths, lots of wounded, and brutal repression that plunged the city into terror and chaos. Matías decides to reopen the investigation by following the trail of the man regarded as the perpetrator of the attack. The story of his cursed, fast-paced life will leave a profound mark on our hero.
