Emilio Salaberry is eight years old when he witnesses a ship explosion in his town’s port. As a survivor of that scene that will scar him forever, and to run away from the tragic reality in which his life turns out after his mother dies and his dad’s alcoholism and violence. Emilio submerges himself in books to search other worlds. Years passed by, and his vocation for literature will take him to write his own stories without understanding that this decision will condition his existence even more, because some time later he will begin to discover strange connections between what he writes and what happens to him and people that surrounds him. When he returns to his hometown after 20 years, he finds in his bed the texts that he wrote before leaving and where he explained the events that made him run away.
