Verónica Rosenthal has sought solace in a remote cottage belonging to her cousin in the province of Tucumán, seeking to recover from the distressing events portrayed in The Fragility of Bodies. During her stay, she forms friendships with two female tourists, an Italian and a Norwegian, and extends an invitation for them to stay with her. However, her intentions go beyond mere companionship as she enters into a sexual relationship with one of them. Following a party they attend together, Verónica embarks on a journey alone, only to discover days later that the women have tragically been murdered. The suspicion initially falls on a local Umbanda priest, but as Verónica delves deeper into her investigation, she uncovers a web of corruption, abuse, and femicide that involves not only the priest but also government officials, wealthy landowners, and a high-ranking official from Argentina's "Dirty War."

Verónica's pursuit of the truth has ignited the wrath of new adversaries who are determined to thwart her at any cost. Her unwavering determination to expose the truth has put her life in danger, as she becomes a target for those who wish to silence her. Despite the obstacles and dangers she faces, Verónica remains steadfast in her pursuit of justice and the truth.

Through her investigation, Verónica sheds light on the systemic issues that contribute to such crimes, including gender inequality, political corruption, and the abuse of power. She challenges the societal norms and stereotypes that perpetuate violence against women and advocates for the need for change.

Verónica's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of standing up against injustice. Her determination to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to account serves as a reminder to all that the fight for justice is a never-ending one.
