Veronica's investigation, with its unforeseen political dimensions, has alarmed new enemies who will try to stop her at all cost.
Veronica Rosenthal is a successful young journalist with a healthy appetite for men and bourbon. She decides to investigate the suicide of a train driver in Buenos Aires involved in the supposed accidental death of young men hit by his locomotive at speed.
