To shed light on the premature death of his son, Sara, a former interior secret service agent, tired and withdrawn in a prison of solitude, returns to ask a favor and colleague of the past, Teresa. But you know, nothing is at all. And in a moment, he finds himself entangled in his old life. Whether he wants him or not, he is still the best: the “invisible woman” called her, and her dowry has never stopped being requested.
So, as he discovers the life of his son, of whom he ignored almost everything, Sara sinking into an investigation that brings her back to many ghosts of the past.
