Juan, a Cuban construction worker, returns to Havana for the first time since fleeing Cuba. He is hoping to catch up with Victor, his best friend from college - and to discover what has become of two of his ex-girlfriends, Elsa and Rosita. Juan is surprised to discover that Victor has become Victoria, Elsa has married a wealthy foreigner, and Rosita, still single, works at the Havana cemetery. When one of these women turns up dead, it will cost Padrino, a Santería priest and former detective on the Havana police force, more than he expects to untangle the group's lies and hunt down a killer.
