What is it about?
Claudio, a young man passionate about science, travels to New York with the intention of immersing himself in conferences and museums. There he meets Lucía, his step-sister, who has very different interests: photography and the world of influencers. The encounter with one of these influencers, who defends the theory that global warming is a government plot, triggers an investigation that will take the protagonists much further than they imagine. The plot thickens when they must infiltrate a massive trap concert, delve into a scientific-mafia organization, and escape from the thugs of the FAKE agency. Throughout this adventure, Claudio and Lucía, accompanied by Hamlet, Claudio's peculiar pet, will not only try to unmask the truth, but will also learn to get to know each other and build a new family relationship.
