Dionisio Vivo, a young South American lecturer in philosophy, is\npuzzled by the hideously mutilated corpses that keep turning up\noutside his front door. To his friend, Ramon, one of the few honest\npolicemen in town, the message is all too clear: Dionisio’s letters\nto the press, exposing the drug barons, must stop; and although\nDionisio manages to escape the hit-men sent to get him, he soon\nrealizes that others are more vulnerable, and his love for them\nleads him to take a colossal revenge.
