Cedeira's mayor, Amparo Seoane, has been murdered. The investigation of the case becomes an obsession for Civil Guard sergeant Maite and literary teacher Tomás, who was the only witness of the murder.
While Amparo is buried, the investigation of her death continues. One of the hypothesis around the death is rumored to be because of political reasons, but a suspect with no cover-up has her car match the description.
Cedira prepares for the traditional 'rapa das bestas', which could be the last one. After being fired from the case, Maite has no choice but to join Tomás in his own investigation.
Months after the 'rapa', Amparo's murder investigation is no longer a priority and is at risk of becoming one of many unresolved cases. After returning to her spot, Maite tries to resume the investigation.
After following one of the threads from Amparo's last words, Tomás and Maite unknowingly get closer to the truth and realize that they need to hurry if they want a second murder to be prevented.
Cedeira has been the setting for two crimes in the span of a few months. Tomás and Maite are convinced that both murders were committed by the same person.
