Álava, 1872. The war between Carlists and liberals serves as the backdrop for an old and illiterate peasant who rapes and strangles women.

Just like the dark Spain he lives in, Garayo will wage an inner war, and in his path, he will encounter Ángela Berrosteguieta, a mysterious woman who has recently arrived from France, determined to find him at any cost.
