A dive bar, a tango environment, a card game of truco, a pregnant waitress mistreated by a boss, who later ends up leaving her in the street with her newborn son. The son, named Faxman after an old illusionist, grows up and becomes an illusionist himself, traveling through different Argentine cities with his show. During one of his performances, Faxman meets Candelaria, who becomes his assistant as well as the love of his life.
In 1986, Gerardo returns to Rosario after a long absence. He has returned to meet his seven-year-old son, David, recently recovered by his maternal grandmother. This melancholic and introverted boy is just beginning to know his true family. Father and son will gradually discover each other, and each in their own way will seek a bond. The depth of their feelings must overcome the mistrust and pain caused by their absent mother and wife.
The story takes place in the present or near future in the city of Rosario, Argentina, in the midst of brawls and violent events linked to two groups related to the bravas gangs, crime and some sectors that want to enter politics. Two factions that function like two families that put the city in check with wild and excessive violence, but which at the same time is the result of both historical passions and shady businesses. Two rival sides that, at one point, their bosses will need to negotiate - above their subordinates - with the aim of agreeing on territories and getting rid of those who may be annoying to both.
