Barbara is a criminal psychologist who becomes the victim of an express kidnapping. After her abduction, she works as a negotiator in cases like hers to find the people who almost took her life.

Elena Blanco, veteran homicide inspector of the BAC (Case Analysis Brigade), is an intelligent woman obsessed with work, tormented by a dark event from her past. She tries to scare away her ghosts with alcohol, sex and music, while she searches for the culprit in the murder of Susana Macaya, a young gypsy girl who disappeared after her bachelorette party and with whom someone has performed a macabre ritual that reproduces the death of her sister seven years earlier. The great unknown is that Lara's murderer has been serving time since then, so either he has a copycat... or there is an innocent man in jail.

All suspects. All liars. All guilty? The Why? is out there, unanswerable, unimaginable, waiting to be dug up beneath layers of lies and secrets. But the How? is equally horrifying, since it would mean that little Alicia Vega went missing during a boisterous party in the midst of her family. Has she been kidnapped? And if so, by a guest or even by a member of the reputable Vega family? Acting swiftly, the police assign two undercover agents, Victor and Laura, to infiltrate the family circle. Though they pretend to be married, they have little in common: while the impulsive Victor could care less about discipline, straitlaced Laura prefers to work by the book. Time is of the essence, since motives suggesting foul play are spreading out from the Vega family like metastases that can no longer be kept under control.
