Virginia Gibert, a prosecutor in an examining magistrate’s court, feels that, at the age of thirty-something, life is slipping through her fingers. She has a job she is passionate about, a model husband, Diego… And no desire to be a mother, although she has not dared to tell him that. It’s not that they are in crisis, but she suspects that there must be something else in life.
After a night shift, when she gets home, she discovers Diego in bed with Fernando, their best friend. They are half-naked and appear to be asleep, but her husband is dead.
The judge on duty in charge of the investigation of the case is Mario Laredo, who was Virginia’s first boyfriend and who has returned to her life with the clear intention of recovering what they had.
A dead husband, a close friend as the main suspect, an ex-boyfriend in charge of the investigation and a prosecutor with personal interests in the case. Cross suspicions, hidden desires and forbidden loves in a disturbing criminal investigation plot.
