The story begins with a seemingly simple assignment: a refined yet unsettling woman hires Pereyra to follow her husband, suspecting infidelity. But the investigation soon takes a macabre turn when the detective discovers that the man is not a cheating lover, but a methodical and chilling serial killer. Pereyra is a delightfully complex figure of the genre—vulnerable, abandoned, ironic, and deeply self-destructive. His ongoing battle with alcohol and drugs renders him an unreliable observer, heightening the sense of deceit and his inability to distinguish who holds the power, or what is real and what is born of his hallucinations. The ending delivers a sharp, hopeless blow, leaving the reader with a suffocating sense of moral despair.

A woman embarks on a journey to explore the limits of pleasure, chasing sensations that promise to free her from routine, memory, and pain. What begins as curiosity soon turns into compulsion, as each encounter pulls her further into a world where desire becomes both escape and prison. The path she follows is anything but straight—marked by obsession, loss, and the quiet erosion of self. She learns that pleasure, when pursued blindly, leaves a trail of consequences: fractured relationships, blurred identities, and wounds that don't always show on the skin. In the end, she is forced to ask herself whether the pursuit was worth what it cost—and if she can ever find her way back.
