O sei vittima o carnefice. Per il mondo, o sei bianco, o sei nero. Resta a te la scelta. Ma, tutti si macchiano. Chi col sangue e chi col senso di colpa. Veniamo costruiti da pensieri, azioni, verità e bugie. Quale tra queste è riconducibile alla vera realtà di noi stessi? Ogni vita ha il proprio peso ed ogni errore ha la sua conseguenza. Solo obbligandoti ad affrontare la realtà puoi andare avanti. E se non lo fai tu, tocca farlo ad un giudice. Quando ti ritrovi in un posto dove ciò che hai fatto ti viene messo su un tavolo non puoi nasconderti dietro alla negazione. Bisogna affrontare ciò che rimane. Ovvero te stesso, il freddo e la polvere di una cella. Fra vendette, bugie, verità, finzione, giustizia, sbarre, sbagli, colpe, manipolazioni, violenze, ideologie e segreti, tutto condurrà ad un'unica realtà dei fatti. Angeli dannati in cerca di emozioni e demoni disperati in cerca di pace. Lei, vittima del pericolo. Lui, vittima del crimine. ©copyright,tutti i diritti riservati

Esta es la historia de Lucas, una persona que le encanta chismear sobre las demás personas. Critica a cualquier persona a la mínima oportunidad que tiene, incluso cuando no tiene la oportunidad, porque la crea. Durante toda su vida ha sido un criminal, desde pequeño robaba a los profesores y chuches de las tiendas. Cuando fue adolescente cometió fraude bancario que le ayudó a mudarse a Madrid y poder establecerse cómodamente. Ahora de adulto participa en robos de mayor nivel, bancos principalmente. No es algo que haga muy a menudo, pero lo suficiente para tener tanto dinero escondido que podría ser considerado un rico. El problema es que Lucas no ve nada de malo en este hobby, al punto que cuando ocurre algo que le llama la atención tiene que contarlo a alguien, normalmente su mejor amigo. Tonto no es, así que siempre se salta las partes que lo incriminan de ninguna manera. En su último paseo se ha encontrado con un hombre de lo más pedantesco, y un reloj le va a cambiar todo drásticamente.
