Granada, 2018. After a dangerous intervention which ended with his colleague Jorge Morrison in intensive care, Inspector Velázquez returns to work for an unusual case: a crazy young man with a reputation as an Adonis sneaks into churches for sexual escapades in broad daylight. What seemed like a crude prank quickly becomes complicated, requiring the entire investigation team. The leader of the criminal organisation responsible for several murders, with whom Velázquez previously grappled, has also disappeared without trace. At the same time, Velázquez’s private life is in chaos: he is still an emotional mess, he has no clues about the whereabouts of his senile grandmother, and his brother, who works as a bouncer, only brings him problems. The arrival of enigmatic messages that seem to be from his father, who was thought ot have died in Brazil fifteen years earlier, will force Velázquez to face his worst demons.
