Hache has been at his new all-boys, religious school for just under a year and gravitates towards the rebellious boys in the group. Like any teenager seeking a sense of belonging, he does everything possible to be accepted by them, without knowing what that will mean for his destiny.

One Thursday afternoon, after a heated soccer match at school, the friends, drunk and agitated, decide to seek revenge on one of the rival players. Without Hache fully understanding how or why, a series of rapid events culminates in a group act that will have irreparable consequences.

Following her essay "To Take and Eat Without Guilt: Pleasure is Feminist," María del Mar Ramón constructs a fiction around a group attack involving the protagonist and his best friend. This novelistic exploration of the motivations and frustrations of a handful of wayward boys is simultaneously a portrait of a society horrified by the distorted mirror image of violence it reflects.
