The Yankees are incredibly sharp when it comes to matters like these. They adamantly assert their innocence and refrain from claiming to be innocent. The concept of innocence, in their view, cannot be definitively established, as it is a subjective notion.

A tragic incident unfolds in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, resulting in the loss of forty-three lives. Amidst the wreckage, a prayer card of Saint Expeditus, the patron saint of urgent matters, flutters gracefully. Trapped within the chaos is Hugo, a criminal on the run for murder. Seizing the opportunity, he cunningly escapes the wreckage unnoticed, leaving behind his possessions and, perhaps, his very identity, entangled among the mangled remains.

As the police arrive at the scene, seasoned Detective Domínguez discerns a connection between the crash and his ongoing murder case. Determined to pursue Hugo, he embarks on his trail. However, he underestimates the obstacles that will hinder his pursuit, including the meddling of the media and the interference of his mother-in-law.

The story unfolds with a relentless pace, as Domínguez relentlessly tracks down Hugo, navigating through a web of lies and deceit. Along the way, he encounters a diverse cast of characters, each with their own motivations and secrets. The tension mounts as the stakes rise, and the detective must confront his own demons and biases to unravel the truth behind the tragic incident.

In the end, the story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of greed, corruption, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. It explores the depths of human nature and the lengths people will go to protect their own interests. The Yankees, with their astute understanding of the situation, remain resolute in their denial, refusing to acknowledge any guilt or innocence, as the truth remains shrouded in mystery and ambiguity.
