Mario Nork, a man who survives thanks to temporary jobs, receives an unexpected inheritance: a percentage in the ownership of a modern office building. This news ignites his hope and prompts him to change his life. On his way, he must overcome family and personal obstacles, accompanied by a gallery of characters trapped in their own tragedies. 'Secret Pacts' is a metaphor about hope, with an intriguing plot and careful prose, which confirms Pedro Ugarte as a prominent name in contemporary literature.
