Adan Gorozpe is an upstart, a fact he freely acknowledges. His fortuitous marriage to Priscila heiress to powerful businessman Celestino Holguin transforms him from a lowly law-school graduate to an influential attorney, a man who now rules over the lives of people and extensive properties, a man that is held in the highest regard. Adan Gongora is the National Security Secretary; a tiny slip of a man, the extent of his cruelty belies the shortness of his stature. In a country weighed down by massive corruption, his goal is to end the chaos. Gongora's clean-up methods are horrifying: the incompetent are eliminated, the innocent locked behind bars or assassinated.
