Unable to reconcile with each other, Suárez and Robles find themselves trapped in the hostile environment of a place where the old Franco's methods and customs are still alive, and where they aren't welcome. When the girls appear dead, the following investigation moves the cops to discover deaths of other teen girls that happened before and were never investigated. While Suárez meets beautiful Rocío, an enigmatic woman of the town, Robles learns to move in the town looking for information, learning about rich and powerful people that make their will with total impunity. But according the clues signed by Quini, a young, charming and womanizer man related to the girls, a journalist will arrive to the town to report the case, contacting Suárez about it and about Robles' past.
