What is it about?
The novel begins with an extreme scenario: a man waking up in an abandoned industrial warehouse, far from any urban center. Around him lie two lifeless bodies and the remnants of a violent fight. Without physical pain, but plunged into profound amnesia, the protagonist faces the need to reconstruct who he is. His journey leads him through industrial estates and vacant lots, an underworld populated by ambiguous and amoral characters. Each step is an attempt to answer the questions that torment him: where does he come from? How did he get there? Is he a victim or an executioner? The search for the truth becomes a journey into the heart of degradation, where the protagonist discovers that he himself may be just another piece of that landscape of the damned.
