On the island of Puerto Rico, a police captain interviews a prominent tax attorney and old friend who is the witness to one of the shocking series of brutal crimes. However, the cordial conversation between the two peers soon turns into an intense interrogation between fierce opponents. The police captain delves deeper into the attorney’s hidden past and secret life, leading to the question of whether the attorney is a witness or a suspect, and if he is guilty or innocent.

“Making the book into a television show makes it feel so much more real and so much more like a real rock documentary.”
