Luna Cubells, president of Banco Litoral, lies dead in a small beachside hotel. Police label it suicide, but Dr. Martín Costa sees something else. The judicial police consultant teams up with UCO corporal Adriana Vázquez to dig beneath the surface. What they uncover leads them into a web connecting political figures and banking executives. Each new victim reveals another piece of a larger puzzle. Costa and Vázquez must navigate the murky waters of institutional corruption, where money and power intersect in deadly ways. The investigation becomes a race to identify the killer before more bodies surface. At the center of it all lies the triangle of the damned, a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of society. Only by breaking this triangle can Costa and Vázquez stop the killing and expose the truth.
