En 1923, Luis Angel Firpo, un boxeador argentino, desafía al campeón mundial Jack Dempsey en Nueva York. La pelea se transmite por radio en Buenos Aires, donde se proclama la victoria de Firpo, pero el árbitro no cuenta los segundos de la caída de Dempsey, quien regresa al ring y gana. En 1973, un periodista deportivo revive este combate para el aniversario de un periódico, mientras que otro periodista relata la primera interpretación de la Sinfonía n.º 1 de Mahler. Un hecho diverso, un ahorcado en un hotel, se entrelaza con estos eventos. La novela explora la cultura popular, el papel de los medios y la relación entre el deporte, la música y el crimen.
