Synopsis

What happened to Dani Santana? The journalist is full body cased in a hospital after an assassination attempt. At the clinic he befriends Gratu, a youth rugby player who has been confined to a wheelchair. Gratu, restless patient and compulsive hacker, drags Santana into investigating certain practices that have brought our healthcare system to ruin. Meanwhile, one of the richest men in the world arrives in Barcelona. Mexican businessman Roberto M. Faura, head of a mobile company, is negotiating with the government to set up Europe’s largest theme park. Citizen protests, the attempt to bypass the law and the conditions of power will shake a project that seems vital to refloat the country’s economy. But not everything is as the newspapers explain.
