A gripping story that develops in the setting of the real-life natural disaster that took place along the shores of the Indian Ocean in December 2004. The all-destructive Tsunami wave hit the very lives of hundreds of thousands. Amongst them were two lifelong friends, Adam and Robert. Adam had come to these parts to spend a holiday with his young wife; Robert the eternal bird of passage had cut short his roving lifestyle to settle here in a Hispanic colony. The two men are overjoyed to meet again, they have many years to catch up on. Then the great Tsunami came crashing onto these peaceful shores and the gigantic ocean waves flooded all around them. Only one of the two men survived. As he regains consciousness at hospital, at first he remembers nothing at all and he doesn’t even know who he is. Then, gradually, his memory comes back, but there are things he can’t understand. And so, for some time, Adam hides behind the identity of his friend Robert, in order to take time out to unravel the network of deception and crime he was supposed to have been involved in, as well as to clarify some misty events in his own life.
