The son of a magnate in the wood industry, battling his inner demons. His uncontrollable ambition and addiction to gambling. His relationship with a dangerous loan shark that will lead him to make a desperate decision. A drama of intrigue, impunity, and betrayal that will culminate in a point of no return. A story of the strong and the weak, of corruption and nobility, set in the Montevideo of 1980s. The advent of a new democracy, with the echoes and the still raw wounds of the military dictatorship.
