In March 1873, shortly after the First Republic was established, Fermín Salvochea took office as mayor of Cádiz. Following his anarchist spirit, he adopted a series of controversial measures that earned him the sympathy of the poor while at the same time the animosity of the wealthy classes and the clergy. One of those measures was the eviction of the Candelaria Convent. This is History. The rest of what these pages contain may not be. In 1907, Fermín Salvochea, legendary mayor of the city of Cádiz, dies in strange circumstances. That same day, Juaíco, an old and drunk barber, decides to tell Salvochea's story to his son Sebastián. In 1873, young Juaíco begins working for Fermín Salvochea during his first week as mayor. A death in a brothel will embark them on an adventure full of mysteries, black magic and revenge beyond the grave. In 1907, an enigmatic theater of horrors has arrived in Cádiz. Brutal murders occur in the alleys of the city. Only Sebastián and his friends will be able to find the truth behind Juaíco's story and protect Cádiz from the ancient evil that nests in its entrails.
