Real and fictional characters, most of them are writers, exchange the role of narrator in this polyphonic novel. They recount contradictory versions of the plot, a series of femicides that began with the energy crisis. The central narrator is a psychiatrist who manipulates the accounts of his friend, an author writing a book titled 'The Night'; and his patient, an advertising executive obsessed with understanding the world through word puzzles. This is a political novel about the financial crisis and socio-political division in Venezuela from 2008 to 2010.
