La sirena y el jubilado

The odds seem stacked against Carmen Larrañaga. Confronted by the epidemic of violence against women, she decides to run for federal deputy representing her hometown. However, the leadership of her party—the Democratic Party of the Good People—refuses to back her, choosing instead to promote the opportunist Vega Fernández, a man whose alliances reach like tentacles into organized crime. Yet, this proves not to be her greatest obstacle. During her first campaign event as an independent candidate, Carmen is shot twice by a sniper and left critically wounded. The young candidate refuses to be intimidated; her message has resonated deeply and quickly, and she has the support of a group of tenacious friends. But how can she campaign knowing an enemy is lurking—an enemy that could be within the ranks of her powerful former party or among the members of an equally powerful criminal organization? Carmen needs protection, and she finds it in the unlikely figure of Néstor del Valle, a retired museum guard. Will it be enough?
